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)...

Apple only announces the specific date when their stores will open one week prior, if not two, but no more than that.

Man, why is everyone excited about this store? Many places in my lil' city carry Apple products. I survive quite nicely without an official Apple store that sells only Apple products.

Okay it's a store, they have Apple products... and you'll see stuff that is already out there in other places. hehe

I love Apple and all, but I just don't understand all this fixation on a store. In all honesty I am glad there is no Apple store here. I would probably want to blow all my cash on things I don't need. lol

*hides from the Apple geeks*

Hi folks,

After some discussion with some people in the know, I have determined there is a 95% chance that the Apple Store will indeed be having the official grand opening on Saturday, May 21st at 9:30 am EST (Time edited May 14).

Thus, the camping out will be over Friday night.

The mall doors open at 5:30am EST (Monday through Saturday).

The plan of attack is to queue at the South doors before 5:30am.

The speculated May 20th opening date has been postulated to either be a red herring or a soft opening (friends & family) date.

Holy mother of pearls that's scary! People camping over night for a grand opening to a store.

I don't understand all this fuss. Maybe it's better I don't.

But I am glad that you're all loyal to Apple! Even if it is an unhealthy loyality, it's still okay in my books.

I will say this though, there were some pretty hot looking chicks shopping at the Apple store at the Mall of America when I went in the Summer of 2004. Don't know why I mentioned that. Probably so I would get your attention off of the fact I am teasing you guys.

Heh! I'm a sucker for a free t-shirt.

However, it's very unlikely that I'll make it to the opening since my wedding anniversary is the previous night (nudge, nudge, wink, wink). I will camp out for any flagship store opening since there'll likely be the legendary "Lucky Bags" for sale.

What is in the bags?!

When I spoke to the security desk, they told me that they normally open the doors at 5:30am so that the stores can receive deliveries and the staff can do cleaning and re-stocking. This is when many senior citizens have mall-walking clubs.

The website is incorrect. When you speak to mall customer service the Saturday store opening time is 10:00am for all stores. Perhaps they want to advertise to people that they come through the doors earlier on the Saturday.
