Montréal Mac Store - should be very interesting and fund
Later this year, Montréal will see the opening of the first "full size" Apple Store. The store in Montréal will be located on Ste-Cathérine just next to Ogilvy's. The store will be on two levels - similar to stores in major centres in Europe and the US. This is is a first for Canada
We do not know yet when the store will have its official opening (rumours are late Spring or early Summer).
Could be a neat event for the ehmac community in and around the Montréal area.
Wanted to start a thread so that we can see what we want to do.
I think I know which building you are talking about, not far from Ogilvy they have been doing big construction and they even put a temporary wood structure painted all in black that block part of the sidewalk.
Hmm this need further investigation, ill snap some pics this week-end (I am following a Photoshop class at Concordia university and I pass infront of this place ;-)).
I guess that probably why they put this black structure so we dont really see what they are doing inside to keep it secret.
Good thread. I completely forgot about the new store. I think it will be where the "Mens" store was. Glass front over 2 levels. Plus it's a good shopping area near Crescent. Would be good to get it open before the Grand Prix. Then again, I wouldn't want it open before the Stanley Cup win
Gmark, there is macquebec.com which is a French site. And I remember seeing a Final Cut User Group site in French somewhere.

a little off topic... does anyone know what's happening with microserv?
it's out of my way to swing by the store, but i do check the website and it seems to be only an "IT solutions" place now. is the public store gone?
If you touch the side, do you get a flash of brilliant thought, i.e. 2001-ASO???

As noted in the story, the picture shows the construction screen and not the actual building front. I assume that the actual storefront will be in line with adjacent buildings once finished.

Microserv's Dorval store was open and looked to be operating normally a couple of weeks ago when I bought my new keyboard there. The vast bulk of the store's items are Mac or third party Mac items. There are some Windows related items but not that many. I have no idea whether or not they still have their Laval store.
