Unfortunately it's not part of the Eaton Centre - which is where the store is going (though I do agree with you). The former tower records spot would be awesome, and possible since Coast Mountain Sports has been having trouble as of late

I sure hope I'm wrong but if Apple is putting a store in the Eaton Centre then it's not a flagship store. The only way that would happen would be if they somehow snagged a double layer fronting the street.

At the very least, I hope this place is larger than Yorkdale and has a theatre section. Those of you who've never experienced a true, full-blown store have been missing a treat.

I think the one major opening that could have worked got swallowed up by HBC for their Zellers division. A bit of a pity, that. The space formerly used by Wal-Mart(good riddance to them) could have been divvied up between Apple and a few other outfits I'd like to see in Orleans. Like Wallack's, a local art supplies chain...

I swear, some parts of downtown Toronto's architecture are reminding me of movie versions of Gotham more and more every year.

andreww · Nov 13th, 2005, 04:19 PM

Is there something confirming an "eaton center" store?

Andrew,

If you go to www.apple.ca and go to the jobs section. pick other (not retail). filter your search to ontario and in the bottom left you'll see Apple Store Yorkdale and Apple Store Eaton Centre.

well I just got back from the Eaton Centre, and I was able to gather two things. The most probably location currently is right at the Queen St. entrance, 3rd Floor, next to what is now Crabtree and Evelyn. There is A LOT of (newly?) vacated space there that's covered by white construction walls, and seems like a decent location. The only other spot would be the Coast Mountain Sports location - this would be absolutely insane. Extremely high profile, Regent St. style building, and would make for an awesome store. Let's hope for the ladder shall we?
