Apple Store openings

Several new Apple Stores either opened or are set to open this weekend. Here's a look at what's going on.

In Shanghai, China, the curtains have been removed from the huge glass structure that sits atop the city's new flagship store. Flickr user Lesh51 has posted some great shots of the removal process. You can plainly see the cylinder itself, the familiar Apple logo, and the interior spiral staircase that leads to the underground retail space. His aerial shots offer an overview of this store's dramatic location. This store will open this Saturday at 10:00 AM local time.

Meanwhile, the Opéra Store in Paris is finally open, and it's a stunner. The layout, both inside and out, differs dramatically from what we typically see. Here's a gallery of photos that show off this beautiful space. Even Steve showed up to check it out. Enjoy Paris, Steve!

Here in the States, Apple Store, Haywood Mall is set to open in Greenville, SC this Saturday. It will be South Carolina's second Apple Store and the 295th store opened overall. It's located in the Haywood Mall, at 700 Haywood Road, in Greenville. You'll find it on the lower level of the Sears wing, next to Abercrombie & Fitch. Doors open at 10:00 AM local time.

You forgot the Canadian stores that are opening in the coming weeks!

Chinook Mall in Calgary, and Upper Canada Mall in Newmarket, ON (just north of Toronto) as well as one somewhere in Quebec (but who cares.. they're french)

I was just hired for the Upper Canada Mall location :-)

Apple stores in Charleston and Greenville BUT only a crappy Best Buy Apple area here in Columbia, SC? I know we aren't New York City but we are the state capital. Please Apple get a store to 5 points Columbia as soon as possible. THANKS!

I, too, am excited about the Greenville store. So much so that I was @ Cheesecake Factory in SouthPark yesterday and didn't go in the Apple Store. See you fellow 'TUAW-heads' there Saturday morning.

It looks like Apple's store design is just as elegant and cool as their product design. I'd really love to check out the Shanghai location.

Still waiting to hear word from the to-be-determined Apple Store here in Philadelphia.

Will the 300th store opening include a grab bag or raffle?
