There's going to be a SonyStyle store right next door to the apple store in the pentagon city mall (arlington, VA). Not sure when it's opening though. They're at 90 degree angles to each other on a corner so they'll have direct views at each other. Should be interesting. Also, it appears SonyStyle is opening another store this year as well in The Tyson's Corner Mall (also Northern VA). You Guessed, the same mall as the first Apple store in this area. Looks like they're trying to go head to head with apple, or at the very least go after the same demographic of shoppers.
Braintree is South Shore. Burlington is North Shore. Boston is in the middle, and there's an Apple store at the Cambridge Galleria just west of Boston. It's great to see the proliferation of Apple stores. Looking forward to an Apple Store in Springfield, IL.
The North Shore Mall Apple store is in Peabody, not Burlington. It's about a 20 minute trip north of Burlington without traffic. Burlington has a nice mall which is very close to an industrial park that has a lot of technology companies in it. Should be a good location for Apple. Even though I'm practically next door to the one in Cambridge, I sometimes find the mall in Burlington easier to get to (and it has free parking).
Where is Toronto's second store? When will Montréal get the nod? Will Vancouver have to continue to wait and wait. And what about Ottawa, Canada's capital and Ontario's second largest city? When will they see Apple's storefront retail? It's time to expand into these cities as well. The market is there. Why the delay?
"Unannounced" store?

FYI, there's already an Apple store in Burlington, MA, in the North Shore Mall. Could that be the "unannounced" store?
