Five new Apple retail stores open Saturday

by Robert Palmer Sep 16th 2008 at 8:00PM


Apple is opening its fifth retail location in San Diego county at Westfield North County Fair in Escondido this Saturday at 10 a.m. The Apple Store is centrally located in the mall on the middle level across from Nordstrom.

Opening the same day at 9 a.m. is an Apple Store for Lancaster, PA at the Park City Center. There, the Apple Store is located next to The Bonton and The Gap. Colorado Springs, CO is also getting an Apple Store at The Promenade Shops at Briargate. It opens at 10 a.m., and is located next to Pier 1 Imports on the west side of the mall. (Bonus typo on the map page.) The bay area gets another location in San Mateo, at the Hillsdale Shopping Center. It also opens at 10, and is located next to Guess and the Lego Store.

And to top it all off, the first Apple Store in Northern Ireland -- at Victoria Square in Belfast -- will be throwing open its doors at 9 a.m. The Apple Store is located on the Upper Ground Floor.

All times are local. All five grand openings will feature t-shirts for the first thousand customers, and probably lots of high-fives and yelling.

Thanks, Toby, Ross, and Jonathan!

The new Apple store opened this morning in Belfast, with great enthusiasm, after all this was the first in Ireland. For pictures from the top of the queue check out blog Left over 'GREY MATTER' at http://derekhall.eo-creative.com

I think it's funny how people were posting for Apple to open a store in their city...I dont think Apple reads Tuaw and takes fan requests seriously.

Hey Apple... I live in Ottawa, Canada and we'd sure love an Apple store up here. It's the capital city of Canada. Our closest Apple store is in Montréal (almost 2 hours drive away). Toronto has four Apple Stores, but that's about four hours drive. I'd buy a lot of stuff if you opened one near me.

For the love of God! Wichita, KS. Please Apple! Just a tiny store would do, anything. I promise I alone will make it profitable.

As far as Amish county...yea we got em...but Lancaster is a very pivotal city...you can get to New York, Philadelphia, Reading, York, Delaware and more very quick now that they have a nice highway connecting them all. I am so happy to finally not have to drive 2 hours to KOP. This will only be 15 mins drive now...perhaps that is a bad thing!

See you Saturday APPLE fans!

I wonder will there be huge lines in front of these stores? :) And does it actually mean that Apple increased their production or the same number of iPhones will just be distributed to more stores?
Those who don't wont to stand in lines, you can try to win a free iPhone 3G, rules are here: http://www.pikaba.com/c/ContestRules.aspx?m

The zip code is incorrect. It has 80902 but it is actually 80920.

Nah there'll be no high fives and yelling at the Belfast Store. Just a bunch of "alrite myate?", "hiys it gooin?", and "wats the craic?"... If some one wants a high five they'll be asked "wat ar yeu laike?", or worse, if they've got some spides working for them, to "fupp ahf"
