New Apple Store look...
I DIG it the most!
Check it out!
Question: what are in the clear cylinders in the two boxes near the front? T-shirts? Probably for the grand opening, huh?
Rats...I was hoping Apple was finally getting a clue (and realize the goldmine they're sitting on) and start selling Apple logo merchandise (hats, shirts, keychains, mugs, etc.).
Maybe someday.
I've heard from several people that they do this at the Cupertino HQ store, right? So don't come in here and say "that's not Steve's thing...he doesn't like that" because they wouldn't do it in Cupertino, right?
The one company with the most devoted, loyal and fanatical following (who'd pay ridiculous amounts of money to adorn their cubicles, offices, bodies and cars with Apple loot) and they totally don't seem to want to do it.
Check it out!

well, technically that store is the "Company Store" not an Apple Retail Store so they have that merchandise for employees eventhough its open to the public

Well, iBeg to differ...it's "news" in the sense that I (and I'm sure many others here) haven't seen it and it was posted today on a popular news/rumor site, pertaining to this new store opening this weekend.
Wasn't like I found a link/article from March for crying out loud.
In any case, we're not all lucky enough to live among these stores, so forgive the occasional lapse in "newsworthy" selections. What's old hat to you might be brand new to many of us.
I'm pretty good at determining what's worth posting and notifying people about. Been doing this a long time...
Well, it's definitely a cheaper ceiling. I hope the computers look OK under those 2x4 fluorescents. 1x4's would have looked better IMO, and gotten more even distribution. It's not like the electrical bill is that high with fluorescents. I'm surprised there's not a big honking Apple logo dead center on that genius bar desk. The screens are interesting/curious. The kids area seats and rug look a bit out of place, a bit token. Floors look fine and it doesn't look cluttered, so that's a big plus.
But an improvement for sure.
What's in all the boxes under the tables?
2-3 clicks and a drag or two.
We determined that those were the T-shirts given out to the attendees of the grand opening today.

Where do they keep the software?? Front or Back?

Hmmm...

they changed/clarified it

Those are for playing with all the kid software on the eMacs.

in the way back and the kids section... there are also some shelves in the area across from the kids section (etc. I believe)...
the layout is not new. the smaller store format is like this. most of the stores opened this year are like this... the furnishing however is much different... there is usually a wooden floor with white tables... What kinda floor is that?

Yep. The Apple Store in Novi, MI has the same layout, w/o the new furniture, dividers, or floor.
Those Soho style big tables in the picture probably aren't suggestive of anything. Maybe Apple expects to have more products to display... or maybe they finally figured out those solid white slabs were reaaaaaally uninviting.
