New Apple Store coming to Leicester
Apple will open a new UK store in Leicester on September 4th. The 577 square metre store will be located in the Highcross Leicester development along with 119 others, 15 restaurants and 3000 parking spaces. The new store joins others in Birmingham, Manchester, Solihull and Sheffield to provide pretty good coverage for the whole region. Thanks to John Coxon for the tip!

As far as I know, it's UG5, which is the unit which currently has the
grey hoarding protruding from it, in the same area as Pumpkin Patch
and JD Sports. Should be a double height unit, so here's hoping for a
glass staircase! :-)
"There's one opening in Victoria Square in September, it's been common knowledge for months."
I was wondering what the timeframe for that was. Last I heard of it was months ago simply that it was coming.
September is confirmed then? Which Unit are they going to be in? One of the big ones I hope.

I swear at one stage Reading was quite advanced, adverts for staff up on Apple's website and everything, but that was over a year ago now. No chance for Basingstoke now (despite it being the 14th biggest shopping centre in the UK) because it recently acquired a horrible 'iStore' effort.
Don't like these at all, the whole thing gives off SUCH a 'budget' feel in comparison to actual Apple stores, it's like they've gone round and just bought the next cheapest version of the furnishings in an Apple store, staff are always lolling around lazily when you walk in, and they have a wide selection of cheap n' nasty iPod accessories. Eurgh. I want a proper Apple Store :(
I have been wishing for this for years, since the original "Apple store" by the Leicester Royal Infirmary closed (I bought my IIsi from them).
Wonder what this will to do KRCS?
Jarrom Street..... I had a Saturday job there stripping down old Lisa's and IIe's.

Thanks

I totally agree Stephen. Anyway in thy region would be great. I live in Middlesbrough and a store there would be well placed to support the York and Newcastle areas but any store in the north east would be nice since the north east of England has none
