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.

Finally. I'll be able to take my clunky iMac into the store and have it repaired while I wait? (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.

Actually, the job listings at Apple already show upcoming stores in Edmonton at West Edmonton Mall, and in Calgary at Market Mall in the northwest area of the city.

That's cool that Calgary is getting an Apple store after the first failed attempt. 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..)

Come on TUAW, you aren't supposed to tell people. Now how am I supposed to get my free t-shirt? :(

Huzzah.

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.
