Apple Store Hamburg nears opening day

I didn't get a chance to swing by the site of the upcoming Jungfernsteig Apple Store when I was in Hamburg this week, but the guys at case manufacturer Alkr did (no surprise, it's their home town). The store is featuring giant red window panels and is said to be getting close to readiness for its first customers.

The center sign translates as "We (will be) pleased to greet you here soon." Seems pretty straightforward, no? The larger side signs say 'Moin,' which is a slang form of 'Hello' that's commonly used in parts of Northern Germany.

Keep an eye out for more details & schedule on the store opening.

Thanks Jürgen!

It's about time! The service at Saturn's Apple section is horrible. And no one bothers to shoo away the gaggle of children constantly occupying the iPads.

This might be too much information, but I feel compelled to be precise in case anybody cares: It actually translates to "We are pleased to greet you here soon". The larger side is supposed to read: "Moin, Moin" which is the Hamburg version of "Hello", and in other northern parts (north of HH) it's custom to just say "Moin".

(No, MiPrepJock, "Moin" has nothing really to do with "morning". That's just a common myth still very much alive in Germany as well.)

The colors are taken from the Hamburg flag by the way: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburg
