Fort Worth University Park Village Apple Store almost there
The picture above is not the actual Fort Worth University Park Apple Store, but we presume it'll look something like this when it opens later this month. Our Twitter buddy Jamie Phelps says that "the innards are finished" and the store should be open within the next week or so.
If you were on our last Talkcast, you know how wildly interesting it is to see an Apple Store opening (our own Robert Palmer attended one just last week), so keep an eye on this one, Texans.
Of course, we should mention that as incredibly awesome as our readers are, they are not always trustworthy when it comes to Apple Store news. Our good friend Ged Maheux kindly tipped us a little while ago about an Apple Store opening near him in Greensboro ... which then turned out to be a Williams Sonoma instead (the Apple Store is still opening there, but not until next year). We love our readers -- more than is socially accepted in some parts of the world, really -- but as always, take their Apple Store tips with a requisite grain of salt.

It really is almost ready, I drive by it everyday. They are probably kicking themselves for not being open before back to school for TCU

If it opens this Saturday, then it will be open before school starts, which is Aug 25. (I'm still a student at TCU.) Granted, that doesn't count for all the orientation, move in time, etc.
Today, all of the contractor's vehicles were gone. Black paper is still covering the windows, but the door was open and it looks like all they're waiting for now is products and training.

Great video. I drive by on my way to Starbucks each morning so haven't had a chance to get that close. Looks like that video was taken in the last couple of days.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say the actual pictured location above is the Sagemore Apple Store in Marlton, NJ.

I agree with Nate... that's what I thought too when I saw it.

I delivered the cash registered to the store on Thursday. And on Monday I went inside while they were unloading an 18 wheeler with the store's inventory.
