Apple Store opens in FL
The Orlando area gets its third Apple Store as a suburban location opens Saturday morning. The Altamonte Springs Apple Store includes a Genius Bar, Business Services, Workshops, Personal Shoppers, One-to-One training and Youth Programs. Apple is giving free T-shirts to the first 1000 visitors. According to The Orlando Sentinel the store occupies 5,500 square feet at the Altamonte Mall.
The new store joins two others in Orlando, and brings the total number of Apple Stores statewide to 15. In its recent quarterly conference call, Apple said it expects to have 242 stores operating worldwide by year's end -- up from 216 in July.

See you at Altamonte!
I'm owner of Max Your Macs consulting based here in the Orlando/Daytona/Jacksonville area where we have been supporting the Apple Stores throughout our area. We hope to see a great turn out for the grand opening of the shiny new store in Altamonte Springs! Very easy to find right off I4 and this location will be excellent for so many Mac users from Daytona, Orange City, Deland and other areas between south Orlando and Jacksonville. I know we have always heard requests from our clients in these areas for a closer Apple Store so this location is an excellent choice!
