Apple retail news: three new stores opened this weekend

by Joachim Bean (RSS feed) on Aug 30th, 2009

While all of the attention this weekend was around the launch of Snow Leopard, Apple opened up three new retail stores; two new stores in the US and one in Germany.

First, the company opened a new store in Hamburg, Germany on Saturday, which is now Apple's second store in Germany, after the store in Munich opened last December.

Second, there's a new store in Dedham, Massachusetts at the Legacy Place shopping center. This store will be the ninth store in the state of Massachusetts.

Finally, Apple also opened up a new store at the Stonebriar shopping complex in Frisco, Texas. This store makes it the sixth store in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.

If you live in or are near one of these areas, be sure to check out your new Apple Store. As always, we would love to hear your stories of your first visit or see your photos!

Apple Store openings: Did you go?

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jul 21st, 2007

It was a good weekend in Holyoke, Massachusetts and Ann Arbor, Michigan, as each city opened a new Apple Store on Saturday. As usual, we ask any TUAW operatives who may have attended to share their reports and/or pictures. So, did you go, and if you did, how was it? Let us know in the comments.

I wanted to get up to the Holyoke store, but real life had other plans for me. I wonder if the opening will affect the authorized retailer in neighboring Northampton, MA.

Anyway, here's hoping you scored a T-shirt, the Opening Day Contest's grand prize and, dare we say, an iPhone!

Finally, if you haven't gone down to the stores yet, show us a little love and set the in-store Macs to TUAW!

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jul 14th, 2007

Massachusetts' seventh Apple store - and the first outside of greater Boston - will open on Saturday, July 21st in the Holyoke Mall at 10:00 AM. As usual, the first 1,000 visitors will receive commemorative T-shirts and a special opening day giveaway will feature very nice prizes. If you visit the store on opening weekend, please send us your stories and photos.

Speaking of Boston, the concrete foundation has been poured for the new flagship store that will grace Boylston Street in the city's Back Bay. I can't wait until this location finally opens!

Massachusetts college to podcast acceptance letters

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Mar 22nd, 2006

Fitchburg State College in Fitchburg, Massachusetts (my fair state) has announced that they will send an email to 1,000 future freshmen that contains a link to the school's podcast in iTunes. The podcast features the school's president Dr. Robert Antonucci with the good news, and music by additional faculty. That's pretty cool, of course, when I was in school, email was a big deal.

I can see the excited high school seniors running to their parents now:

"Hey, I got in to college!"
"Great! Did a letter arrive in the mail?"
"No, my iPod told me!"
