Just wondering which Apple stores people frequent.

Westfarms mall is the nearest one to my house, so I am there occaisionally (it's still about an hour away) King of Prussia Mall is only a few minutes from school so I am there a lot, and I've been to the Chestnut Hill store and the SoHo store, once each. I was at the Grand Opening of the King of Prussia and Chestnut Hill stores.

[hyperb0le]

I frequent the Lenox Mall (Atlanta) and North Point Mall (Atlanta) stores. I have also been to the one in Soho.

[Tiger]

Soho, Oakbrook, Woodfield, North Michigan Avenue (in the opening incl), Old Orchard (was the first customer in there).

[Wickers]

None! None at all!

Apple, build a store in CANADA dammit! A Toronto location! OMG!

[Joelika]

I've visited the store in King Of Prussia in PA. It's pretty small, but cool to see the layout none the less.

[FFL]

Let's see...
I've been to:

International Plaza (Tampa)
Tyson's Corner (VA)
The Falls (Miami)
Palo Alto (CA)
Valley Fair (Santa Clara CA)
Wellington (W. Palm Beach FL)
Boca Raton (FL)
Aventura (FL)

and spent a whole lotta time at one of those in particular

Westchester
Long Island
SOHO

Santa Monica
Emeryville
West Nyack

I've been to opening day at walnut creek, visited Valley Fair, and drove past Palo Alto (looked nice) while trying to find a rave.

Only the Mall Of America one. I think it's dumb that they have one every four miles in California, and then they don't have ANY in quite a few states in the Midwest. But I guess that's how it goes.

[torifile]

Lenox Mall was my first
Chicago (the one on Michigan Ave.)
Southpoint Mall in Durham

I think that's it.

[DMBand0026]

Chicago
Woodfield
Oak Brook
Old Orchard

I'm a Chicago guy, I stay close to home.

[Eugene]

Palo Alto, CA - University Avenue
Santa Clara, CA - Valley Fair
Emeryville, CA - Bay Street

"oakland's concrete monstrosity." LOL

[SilentEchoes]

Buffalo NY and San Jose CA. Nice stores. I love em. They even offered me free bottled water one time I was in there.

[k squared]

The Falls in Miami. There're two here, but I've only been to one of them.

soho

[psmith2.0]

Glendale, CA
Newport Beach, CA
Fashion Valley, CA
Atlanta, GA
Alpharetta, GA (it's a smaller version, with a slightly different layout than the others I've visited: it's much more narrow, Genius Bar is halfway back on the right, check-out registers are in the back, no free-standing software racks because software is on tall wall shelves to left and right of check-out registers in rear of store, no huge movie/theater area but there are large LCD monitors above the Genius Bar showing looping promos, no big window displays - no room! - and a smaller, tighter hardware selection; every product is represented, just not as much redundancy - say, 2-4 iMacs or iBooks instead of 6-8 -, etc. I kinda like this store, actually.)

Durham, NC

It's about two hours away and I stopped there on a longer trip. They've since built one in Charlotte which is closer.

[Tiger]

Ups. I forgot some. I've been to Cincinnati and Columbus stores too ..

[Messiahtosh]

King of Prussia

McLean Virginia

[iBrowse]

I've only been to Buffalo, but I've been there a few times. I want to go to SoHo really bad.

[torifile]

Oh, I forgot that I went to the Albany store a couple years ago. I was on an interview and decided to check it out. I think it was my first. And I forgot her.

[art jrk]

Tyson's Corner (Bought my wife an iBook on opening day.)
Clarendon (I always get a parking spot in front. Much to the dismay of my coworkers)
Lenox Mall

[HOM]

Crossgates (Albany): I spent a lot of time there
Palisades: Working the theater presentations on their opening day.
SoHo: Can't stand it. I only go to local retailers like J&R, Tekserve, or RCS.
Chestnut Hill: I had to pick up a car charger for my 3G iPod.

[Akumulator]

Only the Lenox Mall one.

[autodata]

Chicago - Michigan Ave

I think that most, if not all, of the more recently opened stores have this layout (Except for the really big ones, of course). The original mall stores had the two rows of low software shelves down the middle, checkout counter up front, theater section in the back, etc. The Westfarms mall store (CT) is of this design. It was in the first round of stores to open (9/01 or so, I think). After a while they scaled down the size of the stores, to the layout you describe. The KoP mall store (PA) is of this design. It opened more recently (late '02). The Chestnut Hill mall store (MA) (opened early summer '03) is of still a different design. It is laid out mostly like the KoP-type store, but has a granite floor, not wood, and uses different tables for the merchandise.
