What about Portland, Maine???
We also have seven other Mac only retail stores in the Portland area!
The Portland area is a HUGE huge market for Apple... Do you guys know how many designers live here??? Every store I go here is always packed with people! Portland is becoming the next San Francisco quick!
Come on Apple...wake the h*** up... there's nothing in the whole state of Maine. We'd like a store here.
The "Bridgeport Villaige" is actually the 2nd one in Portland. The order was like this:
1. Washington Square
2. Bridgeport Villaige
3. Pioneer Place
Which in my opinion was reverse practicality - should have started with Pioneer Place, and not even bothered with the Washington Square.
My complaints - and I am really glad they opened stores, don't get me wrong - is thet the Bridgeport and Washington Square are too close to eachother, and if they DO open one on NW 23 (while a cool location) it is WAY too close to the downtown Pioneer Place.
What, is Apple becoming Starbucks?
I mean come on, there is not ONE Apple store in New Mexico (and almost zero independant Apple based retailers) but Portland gets 4 spaced too close together, a town which we have many good independant Apple retailers (like the Mac store, MacForce, PowerMacPac, PowerMAX, and a couple others).
They should close the Washington Square location, and open one farther on the west side - like Streets of Tanasbourne - or somewhere like that.
And start focusing on the places where people CAN'T GET APPLE, like New Mexico, and if the other posters are right - Maine...
What about Eugene, Oregon? Why 4 in portland and none in Eugene?
Hmmmm....
I knew about our local stores months in advance, especially the large one. It was in a story in the paper about a newly rebuilt mall here. Sure enough, when it opened, there was a store.
More hype and the press falls for it.
