Waterloo = 30,000+ studends
Laurier = 15,000+ students

all within a 15minute bus ride!

This store will do well!

And where I will be living next year will be about a 10minute bus ride, will be my first Apple Store grand opening!

I think London Ontario is next!

I'm hoping that Yorkville still happens: http://www.ifoapplestore.com/db/2008...-toronto-site/

It's only 3 subway stops from my building!

That development project went bankrupt about two years ago when the financial markets collapsed. The newer plans are more modest.

I work at conestoga mall and pretty much confirm this the on site foreman was telling me that it is an apple store le chateau is getting renovated to cause apple wanted more space. Its going to be all glass accross and is costing over million dollars.

Peeked into the door crack today, also saw a few men inside talking and pointing (not in construction suits)

and Its completely bare inside, no ceiling and concrete floor

im assuming work will begin soon, Im assuming its allot of work to turn this empty space into an Apple Store...

It's now official: Apple will be opening not 1, but 2 stores in Southern Ontario This year!

In addition to a store at Conestoga Mall in Waterloo, they will also be opening a store at Mapleview Centre in Burlington.

Job postings for both stores went up over the last few days.

YES! they really are expanding in Southern Ontario!

Very exciting stuff! I always knew it would be a matter of time until there was an Apple Store in this area, and I'm actually really surprised it took this long! With Kitchener-Waterloo-Guelph-Cambridge-London area, you're looking a close to a million people. The area is a hotbed of technology with RIM, OpenText, Google and many others.

Will be following developments of the store closely.

I still think London will get one.. With Western and it's still an hour an so from Waterloo... Still hoping! At least where I live for school is 5min from the apple store in conestoga!

Both Burlington and Waterloo...Makes sense. Around Christmas I was in Creative Technology on Fairview and they hinted that Apple had made overtures about an area store. He believed that Apple was looking at the Mapleview Mall, this was actually the genesis of this post. I am quite excited to see these stores open. This begs another question. With 7 Apple Stores in Southern Ontario, do we have the highest concentration of Apple Stores outside California?
