not sure about a sale, but if you're planning on going opening day I would plan to be there way before 9:30am! it's gonna be lined up out the door!

I'm so going!

I think there's been at least three reports that the opening is on Friday, May 20th. Maybe Vishalca should edit the title of this thread especially since the May 21st date was painted over.

I won't be lining up for star wars, then, for the Apple Store...

D'oh! Did you have to tell them? I was going to encourage both of them to make sure they were there bright and early on the 21st to help clean up the mess from the party the night before (I know it's a long thread guys but you really should read at least a few pages of it before you post

).

I was was at YD on Saturday (I know, a mistake, it's getting worse than the Willowdale Ikea). It was the first time I had been in the new section of the mall. Too bad Apple Ca couldn't get their act together and get the store in that area, I think it would've been a much nicer location.

OTOH, one side benefit of the current location will be that Santa won't have far to go to pick up the stuff I ask him for (... the store is right next to the location of the Santa's Workshop that YD sets up every Xmas).

SO I've been following this, and the other camp-out thread since they started...

Why do we still have no official date from Apple? Could this mean that they're not planning much hype for the opening of this store? (Possibly saving the hype for the Eaton's Center?)

When does Apple typically make official announcements? I've looked around ifoapplestore.com, but i can't find any info regarding that.

It's getting close now, that those of us who are willing to take time off work will need to put in a request for a day off (two weeks)...

Well most of the consuming public don't have attention spans much longer that that covered by weekly flyers so I'm betting that there will be a big press push in the local media the weekend prior.

What I'm really wondering is whether there will be "Lucky Bags" since the recent UK store opening did not have them (see the reference to that on the ifoapplestore page - not clear to me why it is "obvious" that they would not be selling lucky bags).

Since this not a flagship store by any means, I highly doubt that there will be any Lucky Bags for sale. I do however think that there will be Apple Store Toronto t-shirts given out (maybe about a thousand?) as this would be in the realm of recent openings.
