50th Apple Store opened
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
November 26th 2002
85 million people live within 15 miles of one of these stores --
bu-wah-ha-ha-ha-haaa...
Over the weekend, Apple opened its 49th and 50th Apple Store locations in Denver and
Emeryville (CA), respectively. The company marked this milestone with a press release
yesterday but only a handful of Mac-specific news sites carried it.
The company now has stores in 24 states in the US, with a retail location within 15
miles of 85 million people or about one third of the US population.
"We're thrilled to have reached our 2002 goal of 50 retail stores in the US in time
for the holiday shopping season," said Ron Johnson, senior vice president of retail.
"Our stores are a great place to shop for hot holiday gifts like iMacs and iPods."
Apple Stores offer a wide selection of mothership-branded products, as well as
third-party widgets and software titles numbering in the hundreds.
And don't forget, Apple is hosting a special holiday shopping event at all of its
retail store locations on Friday, Nov 29 from 6pm to midnight. Customers who attend
the event will receive free stocking-stuffers, special values and a chance to win a
new 15-inch iMac.
Editor's note: Put this in your bonnet -- 50 Apple Stores open, sales down or flat,
and there has been a palpable lack of tales of woe vis-a-vis the independent
resellers. What's going on? Something most definitely has to give.
Anyone out there in reality have any edification on this issue?
