Everything you want to know about Apple Stores is on the IFO Apple Store website.

BTW, I think that Yorkdale will look like this store configuration in Missouri:

The Mac Mini makes a wonderfu accessory for the Shuffle If you "just love the apple company", then why not treat yourself to their awesome work in the desktop computing environment?

Lukasz, welcome!

A couple of things you might want to know, plus one:

(1) people here use aliases for a reason. If you use your real name (I presume) on an internet forum like this, it is going to come back to haunt you, and not in a good way. You can edit your post (I think) and get rid of the last name, at the very least;

(2) going to the Apple store on its first day is for hard-headed folk only. Even if you could find the item you want to buy, imagine the line-up. Better advice: use the apple.ca website and (if you qualify) get the educational discount;

and (3) a bonus item chock full of information: you don't have to pay for another username. You didn't have to pay for the first one.

Hopefully. My mom actually met the Mac Geniuses there, and got a sneek peak at the store.

Hi everyone,

I was at Yorkdale tonight shopping and I took a few pictures but there's no much to see.

The stainless steel exterior signage is finished and is draped in black plastic. The black construction hoarding is now replaced and further out and is simply unpainted drywall screwed onto framing.

There's no way to enter from the front of the store now. All entry into the Apple Store space is from the employee-only service hallway in the middle of the mall. Thus, I cannot ascertain how far the interior is nearing completion.

So that's the update.

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.

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).

Question Official Word

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.

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

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.

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.

wow. someone really did their research! =P so basically, at 5:30am the mall is open but none of the stores are? ahh a tad early for me....... ahh ill probably show up around 9ish and hope that gmark2000 is the only person to actually ask in the mall as apposed to reading the website....

But here's something that'll really bake your noodle.

How do you know the south doors are the first ones they open?

Maybe there'll be a shorter line at another set of doors that'll open up first and you'll lose the sprint for the finish

How do you know the south doors are the first ones they open?

if ur there at 5:30 i dont think itll matter much, instead of being first, u mite be 10th or something, then again, being 1st in would be really cool. meh, anyways, how do you get to the south doors? are they accessible from the parking lot?

I very much doubt that being there at 5:30 am will be early enough. I was planning on being there the afternoon before! And, yeah, I'm worried about which doors will be open first.

print out enough letter sized signs for all the entrances at Yorkdale that say "Line up for Apple Store opening at South Entrance".

I just read this thread top to bottom and am totally excited now. Though I'd love the 10% off coupon, it'd help me get an Apple machine, anyone at all. I'm gonna pass on the opening and hit NYC for the long weekend.

On a slightly negative note, I really feel sorry for any Mac retailers in the Toronto area now.

Given Apple's tactics in other cities, the very people who supported Apple in the lean times may now start having many problems getting stock in now that the Toronto Apple Store is going to get first priority for anything.
