Apple to open first retail store in South Carolina?

MAc OSX is smooth running. I have just switched From microsoft this
past week and I love it . Windows 2000 XP and Vista Suck!

Aww I thought Greenville would be the first place. We're not slated to get our apple store until Fall 2009 when Magnolia Park opens. And according to the plans, there's a spot for a "5100 sq. foot electronics store." Can't wait!!

I am a Mac enthusiast who lives on Johns Island, about 20 minutes from the new Apple store location. i drove by there the other day (March 25th or 26th) they have it covered with black plywood with papers posted on there regarding hearings that will be taking place soon. not sure what they said, i want to go back and read them. I have 2 more friends here in chucktown who are Mac people, the best buy in North Chas has an Apple display and i think the one in Summerville does too.

As someone who lives about 5 minutes from the Apple Store, I always find the apple store (the one near my house (san jose, ca)), is totally overrated.

Those who work there aren't always knowledgeable, some of them are very rude.

But it's definitely a lot better than say, Sony Style store.

Just put it in Sumter, the dead center of the state! Would love to have all of ya come down and visit!

how about one in rock hill... :D columbia would be nice-i could work there while going to USC

Its funny I just moved from South Carolina to Louisiana where they just opened a Apple Store and now theres on in SC

As a resident of Columbia, SC now I wish we would have something a little closer than Charlotte (a little over an hour away) or Charleston (1.5 -2 hours away) but I understand why Apple does not put a store here. If they did, the thuggish South Carolina Gamecock football team would be stealing from it for sure! LOL

Yup, I am tired of driving 3 hours from Charleston to Charlotte to go to an Apple store. This store is long overdue.

I think DLO has an office down there too.

This is fantastic and all, but for those of us in the upstate like myself, it's better to just drive to Charlotte. Hopefully Greenville won't be left out!

And flip, when are you guys moving downtown? I'm rarely in Greenville and when I am, it's most always in the downtown area so I haven't been able to check out the iPlace!
