Second Glendale, California Apple Store to open Saturday

> The state with the most Apple stores is California, with a whopping 19 stores

I think you meant to say "The state with the most Apple stores is California, with a whopping 50 stores". There's 21 Apple stores in the greater LA basin alone. See http://www.apple.com/retail/storelist/ for a complete list.

Why do we need two in Glendale?

Open one in Burbank!

Apple store trivia: Glendale was the second apple store opened (due to it's time zone), but it's was the first store planned, so it does hold the honor of being store #1 in apple internal numbering system.

Well dare I say thanks to apple for giving this state jobs. It definitely needs them.

this is awesome, i go to the galleria store and its all right but i hate going to the galleria since its old and too outdated compared to the americana, the americana is newer and better just like the grove. i plan on attending on saturday though since the americana is a open, outdoor place i dont know how big the line will be or how many people will be there, i plan on going there tomorrow since i will have dinner and i will take a pic and upload it to twitter regarding the preparations of the opening just to give a heads up

One day when I can dedicate a day to go to Glendale, I might check them out. Traffic on state route 14 and interstate 5 are killer though.

If you draw a line between the two stores in Google Earth, they're under 350 feet apart. As the line flies.

The strange thing is that one of them is a Chinese knock-off.

Yet on the beaches of Northwest Florida, the closet Apple store is three hours away.

I live near the first Glendale store, and when the americana opened, it took the fashionable Glendale Galleria mall and made it look like K-Mart. Now the Americana is filled with upscale over priced stores, so the Apple store should fit in well... except that it's products are worth purchasing. This seems more of a ideal location for the store, but it's my bet that Apple doesn't want to close the galleria store because of the history of that location, OR they will close it a few months down the line when the new location is permanently accepted. There is also a sony store in the americana.
