Apple to open first retail store in Australia on Thursday

by Cory Bohon (RSS feed) on Jun 18th, 2008

We're sure that our friends down under have been wondering where is all the Apple love for Australia. Well, they can stop the sorrow and feel the joy as Apple is set to open it's first Australia Apple Store on Thursday, June 19. The store in question will be located in Sydney and will feature the "world's largest Genius Bar" according to a recent Apple press release (see, that's what you get for waiting so long).

Apple also notes that the store will accommodate over 80 Macs and 60 iPods (talk about Apple goodness). The Apple store in Sydney will open at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday June 19. The Apple Store Sydney is located at 367 George Street, one block North of the Queen Victoria Building.

Apple Store Sydney storefront leaked

by Mike Schramm (RSS feed) on Oct 11th, 2007

The Sydney Morning Herald has been doing a little poking around the city council blueprints office, and they've come back with an artists' representation of what the new Apple Store will look like there-- a huge glass cube, basically, embedded in the building. A few people who sent it to us (thanks!) said there was supposed to be a huge Apple hanging in the window, but I don't see it. I believe it'll be there, though-- the New York store has a similar design, and the SMH article does mention that big white Apple logo.

It also mentions that Apple is going to stick a huge crane in the street to set up all that glass, and that the store will have three full levels, with the top level going to the Genius Bar. Also nice to see that Apple is tight-lipped about mentioning the store to the newspaper, making them (I'm pretty sure) the only company ever to keep the lid shut on an upcoming retail location. I'm sure the folks from Wal-mart would love to chat with the media about one of their new stores.

Still, it'll be nice for you Aussies to have somewhere to go and get your iPhones, MacBooks, and Cinema Displays-- the UK store has already hit 10 million visitors. Word is that the Sydney store will open sometime after mid-2008.

Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Australian Apple Store revealed

by Dave Caolo (RSS feed) on Feb 12th, 2007

Last week, Apple revealed plans for Australia's first Apple Store. Today, an artist's rendering and floor plan have been revealed.

According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the store will be located at 367 George Street in Sydney, and use 445-square-meters of space over three floors. It looks like the front will feature a glass facade and suspended Apple logo, as we've seen in New York, as well as a glass staircase connecting the three floors.

Sounds good, Sydney! If any TUAW "spy photographers" get a snap of the construction, let us know.

Thanks, Daniel!
