Those of you still doubting the legitimacy of all this... I've been in the mall recently and on more than one occasion a store clerk at Sears confirmed that this is an apple store we are seeing being built. Also, they said it would be open in April... but I am doubtful - looks like a lot of work still left to be done!

Really, April...wow. I thought it wasn't supposed to be open until Fall?
I'm not sure how much insider information a retail clerk at Sears would have about the operational plans of another, non-partnered company, which hasn't formally made any announcements yet.
That said, I am still cautiously optimistic that Apple may be behind all of this. But an April time-frame for opening certainly seems way sooner than I would have expected.
well I definitely believe that this is Apple. And the sears clerk said that Apple is using some of their storage space for their own inventory, so that's how they would know. He even referred to the whole ordeal as the "worst kept secret." But i definitely don't believe him when he says April opening. Too soon I think.

I agree. I mean there is no reason to think that it isn't Apple. April does seem soon but the store probably won't take long once the mall reconstruction is finished.
I saw some plans for this store today. It appears to be a single level Apple Store on the second level between Sears and the Motherhood store. It appears the store will only be accessible from the inside, upper level (obviously). What I found weird, was the fact that it doesn't appear there will be any glass facing the outside. Judging by the location, I figured there would be glass on the exterior allowing you to see the store from outside the mall. But it appears the employee break room is on the exterior wall. There could still be an external presense (Glass with the Apple symbol), but you wont be able to see through the glass into the Apple store.
One thing is for sure, it's an Apple store. The plans clearly indicate this is an Apple store to be built within the Halifax Shopping Center.

Any word on what's going to happen to space formerly allocated to "The Centre" -- the youth drop-in program which has been slated for relocation -- located just behind Motherhood Maternity and Rainbow Nails?
It could fit in quite nicely to be merged with the new Apple Store space on the 2nd floor. On the other hand, I suppose they could also position this space as another new standalone retail unit.
