Yes, I certainly wouldn't wish an Apple Store in Joondalup. The guys struggle enough to compete with low margins, high and increasing overheads, "discount shops" (they sell the product, not the service), hard to get stock (yet an Apple Store will get it straight away), etc etc. To put an Apple Store there would certainly make their life harder.
South Perth would certainly be an interesting place to put one. MaxStyle got out in time obviously (to Myaree) if that is the case. Don't get me wrong, I think the Apple Store are good for some things. I just still think it a bit of a "conflict of interest" that a supplier of goods can compete with it's "own channel". Stop and think for a second if this happened in your line of business. Someone that supplied goods (or services) to you started opening shops in direct competition to you (with quick access to goods that you seem to take longer to get (or in much less quantities). Yes, I know competition is good. It helps you work on doing things better. I don't have a "perfect way" for it to all work. Maybe I'm just seeing the wrong "big picture" of things happening. Like they say, we may see all the little things closing up and then the "larger players" being the only ones around. Which then stifles competition. Maybe it's time to start looking for a new job! lol (I think I'll go study to be a Maths teacher. I always liked Maths,....) Just my 1.5 cents worth (maybe it's a distorted opinion,..lol) Kind regards Daniel Sent from my iPhone 4s --- Daniel Kerr MacWizardry Phone: 0414 795 960 Email: <daniel AT macwizardry.com.au> Web: <http://www.macwizardry.com.au> **For everything Macintosh** On 24/02/2012, at 8:47 AM, Ronda Brown wrote: > > On 24/02/2012, at 8:40 AM, Kenneth Woods wrote: > >> Hmmm interesting.
