Apple Store Toronto Opening May 21!

JoeCanadian · May 16th, 2005, 09:05 AM

If you go to the US apple retail web site, it lists the Yorkdale store as opening this Saturday.

Hrmm.. no listing of "Lucky" bags.

Certainly the t-shirt will be worthwhile but I really wanted to get a "Lucky" bag (makes getting up there that early and going through the traffic worth it).

I'm rather disappointed since this is the 1st Canadian Apple store and would most likely be the flagship (unless they intend on opening at Eaton's Center or some massive box-like store elsewhere).

Official Word From Apple

http://www.apple.com/ca/retail/yorkd.../20050522.html

May 21 - 9:30 (just like already menitioned, now official)

Edit: Doh! should have refreshed

got busy with a customer for a minute, and lost the first post about it

The big question (aside from how to line up) is whether or not Apple announces "lucky" bags ahead of time?

Just peeked through the crack of the brown paper used to cover up the glass. Appears that they are in the process of stocking the store. (I see a lot of JBL boxes).

Can't wait...

So when is an appropriate time to show up?

Unless Apple has a suprise for us, the only benefit to being early will be bragging rights and the first 1500 people get T-Shirts (not to mention the fun of the camp-out

)

So i'll say i'm going to show up there at X:00, which will be 1 hour later than the guy who posts below me...

If the mall is still open when the first person gets there (as in night before), do you start the line inside or outside? Do you risk being kicked out of the mall, and not keeping front of line status?

Or does it matter to anyone else? If you show up Saturday morning, there's a pretty good chance you'll be within 1500 right? There's no special advertised 'deals' other than T-Shirts. How many mac fans will there be for the 'non-flagship' store the first day? (Who wants to start the Eaton's Center Camp-out thread?

)

Something I noticed is that the "digital lifestyle" prize is listed as an old 17" iMac G5, but at current pricing. Methinks that's just a mistake and that they'll give away a newer one instead, but it's a curious choice either way.

My First Post, Hi Y'all
A previous rumor was that Yorkdale was going to stay open lage for a Midnight opening of The Apple Store. is this still true?

What 10% discount coupon are you referring to ...??
