Apple Store Toronto Opening May 21!

sketch · Mar 3rd, 2005, 09:39 AM

Yorkdale isn't too crowded on a long weekend. I was there once (on a Saturday) and expected lots of people-- it was virtually empty. So I'm sure May 2-4 will have the same phenomeon. But... why all the way over at Bikini Village? Oh well

I'll definitely be going-- would be fun to put faces to the nicknames on this board!

Hey Guys, I'm new here... and damn it i will be there with you guys. I emailed Yorkdale and they said this.

"The May 21, 2005 date was removed
from the store hoarding as we do not yet have a specific date for the store
opening. Once we have a confirmed date for the opening, it will be posted on
the Yorkdale website www.yorkdale.com

As for sleeping over, this is not permitted. Customers will be allowed into
the centre during regular shopping centre hours.

Thank you
Customer Service Manager"

See you guys whenever.

I can see it now ... scruffy Apple fans racing through the halls from all entrances as the mall opens.
So, come on, admit it. Who's already planned their route based on that map someone posted? Who's bringing their Segway?

good info from the new guy, cheers

regular store hours are 10am weekdays, i know that much. is it the same on weekends? i don't have a car so i rarely go to malls.

although, with the may 21 date scrapped it could be any day of the week now. i doubt they'd bump it up. has apple ever been early for anything?

i wont be able to make it to the opening, but if anyone would take casholla for me to get a lucky bag, I would be most grateful, and even sweeten the deal a bit

seriously.

I got a bad feeling about this....

they'll need crowd control inside the mall however, can't have that many people dashing through the dorrs to the entrance of the Apple Store

You know, the mall usually opens at about 6am whilst the stores open at 10am. This is to accommodate deliveries and maintenance. This is the timeframe that mall walking clubs do their rounds.

So really, it's about when the doors actually open - some one just needs to ask the security guards there.

BTW, Star Wars: Episode III premieres on May 19th, so there might be people camping out for that somewhere else. I saw Episode I on the first day at Yorkdale but I bought tickets online.

I sent that along to Gary Allen (ifoapplestore.com) and he loved it, it'll make the rounds on other sites shortly
