New Canadian Retail Store

Sayhey

Apple's own "Search Jobs" web page now lists a second location for a new Canadian Apple Store. It is in the long anticipated Eaton Centre in Toronto.

Hey I just checked it out, and you're right they do have a listing for Eaton Centre.
I checked http://ifoapplestore.com/ and have not seen any news on that regard.

this is the year of the eaton centre. First Abercrombie announces plans to open one of its stores and a HollisterCo. (open now ) then Apple busts out an announcement...this kicks ass!

I can't help but comment. Apple has not busted out an announcement. I don't believe they've commented at all at this point. Clearly it's coming, based on the fact that it's an option on their job site, but it doesn't indicate that there are any jobs available and if you visit the retail page it only mentions Yorkdale. My 2¢.

Quite correct. Apple is not likely to comment until the week before a grand opening if past practice is a preview of what's to come. This is only the first step towards an opening, with job listings the next indication to watch for. Usually it takes anywhere from 5 to 8 months once the individual job listing appear. Of course, some sharp eyed residents of Toronto might give us all a better clue of the opening when things get close. The main thing is that we now know for sure that Apple is planning a new store in Eaton Centre.

Yes, but will it be just another Apple store or a Canadian Flagship Store.

If it is a flagship or high-profile store it will be the first one to be located in a mall. All other such stores are of the "stand alone" variety.

trump

it's possible that they could build a flagship, as the Eaton Centre has the potential for it (Roots and H&M for example). Though my gut feeling is that it'll be just like Yorkdale
