Paris and Palo Alto getting new Apple Stores

by Mike Schramm Feb 4th 2011 at 9:00PM

ifoAppleStore has news of two new stores opening up soon. First up, Paris is getting another new store (in addition to the Opera store opened there recently) in the Carré Sénart shopping and entertainment complex, about 30 miles south of downtown. The area is reportedly quite built up as a commercial complex, so it sounds about right for an Apple Store to be there as well. That store is scheduled to open by November.

Palo Alto, right near me in California, is also getting another store, though this time to replace the one that's already here. Instead of closing and re-opening the store, Apple apparently plans to demolish another building a few blocks away (seen above) and build a brand new store in its place. The new store design will have a glass entrance and roof, and it will use natural light to connect the inside with the outside. It sounds great -- the new store will probably be up and running sometime in 2012.

I went to the Palo Alto store opening. They gave us shirts which I still have unworn. Steve was there with his son.

In Palo Alto, the new location is bigger, it's where the old Z Gallery shop used to be. It's very closet the current store, so parking is pretty much the same..there is a parking lot behind it that's shared with CVS. It's not as nice of a place to camp overnight for new products though.

I say this with the forlorn hope that someone with influence in Apple reads this site:"Please will you stop opening stores in or around Paris. France is 260,558 sq mi in area and where I live in SW France is 500 mi from Paris, hardly an afternoon trip out. There are no other Apple Stores in France except Paris. No wonder sales in France and Europe are so poor. Go figure." I bet no-one listens.

As far as I know there is also one in CAP3000 shopping center (Nice) and another one in Montpellier... They are doing their best dude! Takes some time to cover the whole country.

Open one in Brussels already. We're the capital of Europe, we deserve a damn Apple store :-(

I too live in Paris, and Carée Senart is a place I've never heard of. In a city that's about 11km (7 miles) from one side to the other, 48km (30 miles) south of the city is a long way.

I checked on Google Maps and it's about a 45 minute drive from Paris to this new "Paris" Apple Store: http://bit.ly/f9rZCo

Well nobody knows what is Carée Senart even me because I live at 20minutes of Paris. But it still the same region, so it's easier to say Paris that the precise place.

Err... "30 miles south of downtown" is not Paris at all. Some factual errors here? This is pretty ridiculous.

30 miles from downtown SF would not be SF.

Indeed.

The distance between Notre Dame and Carre Senart is about the same as City Hall in SF to this new Palo Alto store.

Plus, the new Palo Alto store isn't news. Some of the Apple rumor sites posted alleged floorplans sometime last summer.

Sigh, what about places outside of California? Such as Utah (where I live in), there's only one here! :(

Dude - park in the underground garage at city-hall. It's easy hoofing distance to all these locations, and it's free.
