Meet Spore's creator at Regent St. Apple Store

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Aug 29th, 2008

Gamers, are you excited for next weekend's release of Spore? We sure are (even though the iPod game got pulled from the iTunes Store, darnit). I've created my first species in Creature Creator and he (it?) is ready to go.

If you're also anticipating the game, and happen to be at London's Regent Street Apple Store on Sept. 3rd at 3:00 PM, you can meet Spore creator Will Wright. He'll be talking about the game and showing it off. Here's your chance to talk with Will!

If you just can't wait, or if you want a little background to help you formulate a killer question, check out this interview Will did with cnet.

Top 100 retail landmarks: Apple makes the list

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jul 4th, 2008

RetailWeek recently compiled a list of the top 100 retail locations around the world. What did they find? Well, Apple holds two positions in their list: one for the 5th Avenue store (New York) and one for the Regent Street store (London).

According to the list, the 5th Avenue store has all three key deciding factors: "excitement, education and ease." They go on to say that the glass cube is in line with the "DNA of the brand."

Does this change your mind about shopping at Apple's retail stores? Be sure to take our poll and drop a comment.

Steve shows up in London Apple Store

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jul 9th, 2007

Steve must have felt like taking a ride on the Gulf Stream last weekend, as he was spotted at London's Regent Street Apple Store on Sunday (according to ifoAppleStore). Of course, Steve's appearance immediately got people talking about the iPhone's debut in the UK. Consider that the Regent Street Concierge bar is scheduled to be closed next Monday, July 16th, and the rumors really start flying.

In the meantime, we're keeping our fingers crossed for our friends across the pond. And if you see Steve, tell him we said, "Hi."

Keane to play London Apple Store on Tuesday

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Dec 11th, 2006

This Tuesday, London's newly refurbished Regent Street Apple Store will host Keane playing a stripped-down acoustic set for Apple Store customers. This is the first concert in a series of "Live From London" events hosted in the Apple Store.

The show, which begins at 9PM, will be broadcast around the world to every Apple Store according to SoundGenerator.com Tickets are limited. Only 350 people will attend. The Times newspaper has 50 pair of those tickets to give away to competition winners and an event video should hit iTunes around January.

London Apple Store opens big

by Erica Sadun (RSS feed) on Dec 1st, 2006

Adding more than 9500 square feet to its original layout, London's Regent Square Apple Store reopened today as the largest Apple Store on Earth. By extending back into what had been storage areas, the store was able to expand itself and win the new world title.

The New York City 5th Avenue Apple Store vowed revenge. Fifth-y, as the store is known to friends, has a history of controversy, as it apparently engaged in dressing up as a Muslim holy place while under construction.

The London Apple Store ignored the threats from the New York Store and declared a one-day discount sale on its products. Highlights include £71 off any iMac, £11 off nanos, and £21 off iPod videos.

Regent Street Apple Store renovation almost done

by Laurie A. Duncan (RSS feed) on Nov 13th, 2006

The glass elevator in Apple's Fifth Ave store in New York is such a hit that Apple decided to add one to the Regent Street store in London as part of their grand renovation. Although the elevator required more work than originally thought and has delayed the big reveal, which was originally planned for the store's 2nd anniv on Nov 20, Apple is planning to show off their hard work the weekend of Dec 2nd, 2006. Store changes include the above-mentioned glass lift, a new iPod bar and the addition of a second Studio bar. The weekend-long party will feature special events and a live DJ. What - no Party Shuffle?

ifoAppleStore reports that the 2-week delay was due to the need to reroute all the utility pipes under the 1898-era building because the hole for the elevator shaft had to be dug deeper. I'm approaching the end of a month-long kitchen renovation in my own apartment so I have much sympathy for construction schedule and budget-busting surprises.

Cool Regent Street Apple Store animation

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Mar 29th, 2006

As someone who has only visited the CambridgeSide Apple Store in Cambridge, Mass. (one of the earlier stores, and a modest one), I haven't seen the spectacular flagship stores in New York City and London. That's why I found this animation so entertaining. It's a nice representation of the Regent Street store that's annotated with the various features of that location. Click on one of those features, like the theater for example, and see a photo.

Ah, you lucky Londoners. Enjoy your gorgeous store. Incidentally, the upcoming Arndale Centre - Manchester store is still looking for employees. Good luck!

Grudge match: Rapidweaver vs. iWeb

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Jan 30th, 2006

The term "grudge match" may be a little harsh, but the folks from Realmac Software will be at the Regent Street Apple Store in London on February 8th to give a side-by-side comparison of their application and Apple's.

The Realmac folks will also offer a preview of the upcoming version 3.5 of Rapidweaver and have some free stuff to give away, like stickers, demo CDs and discount codes. The event is scheduled for 7:00PM - 8:00PM, so if you're in London and have nothing to do on that Wednesday night, go check it out.
