Apple to open Braintree, Arlington retail stores

In addition to the second Tokyo store opening this weekend, Apple will hold the grand opening for two new US retail stores on Saturday, August 6, 2005: Apple Store Pentagon City in Arlington, VA is located at 1100 South Hayes Street, while Apple Store South Shore is located in Braintree, MA at 250 Granite Street, Space #1027. Both stores feature The Studio, a one-on-one area that focuses on using Mac to develop/create design/graphics project. Both stores will feature a Grand Opening Sweepstakes, which offers a Digital Lifestyle Collection, which includes a 17-inch flat-panel iMac G5 with Combo drive (DVD-ROM/CD-RW), an iPod mini, a Canon PowerShot SD400 digital camera, a Canon ZR100 digital camcorder, and an Epson Stylus R200 printer. Separately, Apple is also now advertising retail positions for a yet-unannounced store in Burlington, MA.

"Unannounced" store?

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

Sonystyle next to Apple

08/02, 11:12am, EDT

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 vs. Burlington

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.

Peabody, not Burlington

08/02, 11:38am, EDT

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).

"Unannounced" Canuk Sto

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?
