Second Utah Apple Store seen in job listings

ifoAppleStore had details about this some months ago, but it's nice to see articles that it's confirmed.

I work across the street (just north) of the Fashion Place Mall and this is great news. Trips downtown to the Gateway Apple store can be time consuming, especially during working hours. Now it's a quick 5 minute walk across the street when I need something Apple related.

Great news indeed.

Great news, BUT- why cant anyone see the benifits of Provo Utah???? Seriously- I don't love Provo, but with BYU and UVU, it should be a no brainer. There are so many college students that use Apple products that they are kidding themselves if they think that it wouldn't be benificial to add a store down there. Wake up Apple, your making so much money now that you are not even seeing where your target markets should be. Quit being picky about where you put your stores and open one up in Utah County. The Provo-Orem area is busting with people jonesing for an Apple Store. Thanks for the news for the new one. Now give us one down here.

Fashion Place is one of the top grossing malls in the entire West, so I'm not surprised they would locate there over Utah valley or South Towne.

This is awesome news for anyone that has tried to do anything at the SLC store. You can almost never find an open employee. It's great news, because it'll take the load off. Now, they need one in Ogden, and one in Provo. Then we'll have enough Apple Stores!

Eight miles! Sacrilege!

If they're going to put a second Apple store in Utah, move it south into Utah county. There's a ton of Mac users here, not to mention two Universities. I shudder to think how much retail cash Apple is losing because guys like me won't drive to SLC & fight the traffic nightmare just to visit an Apple Store.

I don't know who is advising Apple on their stores, but they've got an extra hole in their head.

An Apple store employee shocked me when he told me that the SLC store was regularly ranked around 3rd place for total WORLDWIDE revenue at all Apple retail stores.

Considering the apple store at the gateway is so packed everyday regardless of product releases. He'll the 6 person workshops are usually so packed that they have 10-12 person workshops regularly instead of the 6 person maximum.

Also, the genius bar is almost always behind at least 30 minutes or more. Maybe this is more about alliviating traffic and sales between two stores and since it seems they are selling anything at the gateway by the truck load.

Southtowne is not going through a major renovation or construction at the moment either. Fashion Place, when finished, will have the only Crate and Barrel, Sephora, Cheesecake Factory, a new Redrock and CPK and has very nice Nordstroms. Looking at Apple's target audience, this is prime location and will be fresh and new by the end of the year.

Best news I've heard today! 3 minutes away!!! yai!

Wow this news along with SLC being the first market to accept NFC payments? That's a lot of news for our little tiny town of Salt Lake. Happy to be a Utard today.
