Vancouver (BC) Apple Store opening May 24
There's good news for our friends in British Columbia: Vancouver's Pacific Centre Mall is getting a brand-new Apple Store on the upper level.
The store will hold a grand opening celebration this Saturday, May 24, starting at 10 a.m. The first thousand customers will get a free Apple t-shirt.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Robert Palmer, you got this information from Palluxo! who was the first one to break this story, and yet, you failed to give them a credit. That's a low punch and you should re-consider giving credit to your sources, in this case, Palluxo! is the source:

Actually, I've never seen that site before, ever. We had many people contact us on May 20 when they received an email directly from Apple that the store was opening. I'm sure several of these commenters can verify that they received the email, and many of them probably sent in tips.
Nice angle to try and plug your site, though. Next time, consider sending us a tip: http://www.tuaw.com/tips
I will repeat myself every time a new store opens.
PHILADELPHIA NEEDS ONE!
Darn! The first Apple store opening near me and I won't be home that weekend.

(My iMac suffers from the "pulled cord o' death syndrome - look it up on Apple's forums). I haven't had it repaired yet because I don't want to ship the bloody thing. About friggin' time.

Before a store was opened here in Canada, I was hoping to see at least a store in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal and Calgary (the major cities which most likely will draw interest, not that the Apple brand itself doesn't draw enough itself!) It's nice to see more opening but still wondering when a flagship store announced? (new or existing stores..)

But I presume no iPhones in this one(for now :/ )
I'll probably go to the opening, see if I can score some free swag.
Hooray, Western Canada has been recognized!
