Line Report: Broomfield, CO Flatiron Crossing


Unfortunately, I'm the in the minority non-linewaiting party here at TUAW today. The "real" job has claimed my soul until 5pm, and then I'll be heading off to the Michigan Ave. store in Chicago to grab some interviews and pictures. But until then, my old high school buddy Josh Gray is stepping in for me-- he visited the Flatiron Crossing Apple Store in Broomfield, CO and took this short but sweet Flickr set, including the little gem above.

It doesn't look too crowded-- people are stretched out on the floor right now. But it is interesting that they've got the barrier headed all the way out of the mall. Jobs said they were opening the doors at 6 to let people from work have a chance to get there, and my guess is that as work lets out on this Friday afternoon, the lines will fill more and more.

Broomfield, CO Apple Store opening this weekend, too

I think it's safe to declare today as "Apple Store News Day." First Toronto's on the map, then Zürich and now a store I've been waiting for: Flatiron Crossing Mall in Broomfield, CO. I just received the email from Apple about the grand opening, the prizes, the glitz and glamor...

The store's grand opening is happening this weekend, May 6th at 10:00 am. T-shirts will be given to the first 1000 (geeks) through the door, and that "Digital Lifestyle Collection" sweepstakes is going on as well. The prizes are the same as the ones in the Toronto store that Dave mentioned: an iMac, an iPod nano, a Canon digital camera, a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV138, and an HP inkjet printer.

I'm going to try and make the opening myself, but I'll need to recruit a fellow Mac geek with a car. If you make it to the opening, send us a link with some pics or a report. Enjoy!

New Colorado Apple Store confirmed

It looks like an Apple Store may be headed to Flatiron Crossing in Broomfield, Colorado. According to Colorado publication The Daily Camera, a spokesperson for the mall at Flatiron Crossing stated [subscription required] that Apple has indeed signed a lease for a 3,231 square-foot retail space. The lease also includes an option for Apple to open a location at the still unopened Macerich’s Twenty Ninth Street mall. A quick look on Apple's job listing webpage did not yield any information, however.

This news comes at the same time as rumors for a new Apple Store in the SmithHaven Mall on Long Island in Lake Grove, NY. Thanks TUAW reader [Lorgio].
