New Apple Store opening in the St. Louis Galleria this weekend

by Mike Schramm Oct 13th 2010 at 7:30PM

This weekend Apple will open up its 305th retail store in the St. Louis Galleria mall, right there at Brentwood and 40-64 (which I heard finally finished construction recently). Saturday is day one, and the store should be open at 9am, so if you want to be around for the festivities (including the t-shirts and the hoopla), make plans for this Saturday morning.

I'm kind of surprised the Galleria didn't have an Apple Store yet -- the only other one in St. Louis is down at the West County Mall, but I'd have expected to see one in Chesterfield, or maybe out in St. Charles somewhere. The Galleria is a good choice, though -- upscale and central, exactly where Apple wants to be. As always, if you head out to the opening and take pictures, be sure to send them along to us, we'd love to see them.

Update: Oh, well that shows how long it's been since I've visited St. Louis. There is a store in the Galleria already, but according to our commenters, it's a mini-store, and this opening on Saturday will be a full retail opening in another location in the mall. So there you go -- still an opening, but not completely new. That explains my confusion -- I thought the Galleria would have had a store by now, and it did.

registered just to say to Charles Hamilton,

seriously, nobody from "round here" as you put it, even says 64 one way or the other. Its just 40.
reedyfj said it correctly ;)

If you say 64, to me, it means your from Illinois (and therefore a bad driver, get out of my lane)

Just took some pics of them putting the finishing touches on the new store, sorry for the crappy quality, and also some pics of the old store for reference.

I got an e-mail about this from Apple the other day.. too bad the mall sucks because they hate anyone under 18 years of age... Apple needs to make an Apple Store not in a mall in St. Louis so we can have lines on release days.. I got kicked off the West County mall's parking lot this year because we weren't allow on until 5:45 and we couldn't make a formal line until like 6:30.. Pissed me off so much!

The store has been there forever. Here's a link to a receipt of mine from that store back in January of 2006: http://www.artisantech.com/receipt.jpg
And here is a link to a screenshot of the email invitation from Apple to come see the newly remodeled store: http://www.artisantech.com/galleriainvite.png

This store has been in the Galleria at least since I moved to St. Louis in 2006. I bought the original iPhone there after waiting in line along the glass railings for 8 hours. They need more space. Guess they're getting it now!

Not to pile on, but round here we call it 64-40, not 40-64.

That's funny because Schramm is FROM St. Louis. Maybe it depends upon which end of town you're from?
(I am not from there so I don't know)

Yeah I go there all the time, and the Apple store has always been there. There is a new wing that they are/were building, so maybe its being moved to the new part. If this is true, i'll be there!
