First South Carolina Apple Store to open Saturday

The last time that we looked into the Charleston, South Carolina Apple Store, they were only in the construction/hiring process. Well, the time has finally come: some South Carolinians will rejoice, while others (like me) will want more. Apple has announced that the first South Carolina store will open this Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 10:00 a.m. The King Street Apple Store is located at 301 King Street in the downtown district.

What do you think about the first Apple retail store coming to South Carolina? Do you support their (belated) efforts? Will you be attending the grand opening? Do you have pictures of the store?


Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

I am vacationing on the Isle of Palms. I am thinking about heading over for opening. This would be my first one, what time should I plan on getting there?

They do desperately need one in the Greenville-Spartanburg Area (although Charlotte's not THAT far away). I would vote for one up in Asheville, NC since it's at least 2 hours to the one in Charlotte, NC or Knoxville, TN.

"Do you support their (belated) efforts?"

It's not like Apple has been intentionally punishing you or something. I'm sure Apple has a complex formula on where it places their stores, and I'm sure part of that is based on current purchases via the online store. If you have 100 people a day purchasing from some place in CA and only 10 people purchasing from some town in WY, wouldn't it make sense to put a store near the town in CA before WY?

If you look at the entire store list, the South (FL isn't really the South) has vastly less number of stores than other parts of the country. I'd be willing to bet that Apple also has less customers here too.

Be happy that you're getting one now. Some states are still without Apple Store goodness.

I'll be there. I am somewhat surprised they didn't open one up in Mt. Pleasant (Towne Centre?), but I think this will be good for King St.
