    How about putting one in the Dominion of Ontario?



    Perhaps not.

    i would be fine with one in santa fe...but santa fe is rather small...



    now albuquerque is much bigger and has a larger surrounding base....also, there is a large mall about 2 miles from this huge intel fab plant...i think it would be great if apple opened a store that close to intel...that would really show SJ's testicular fortitude

    that's really weird. i've driven by that Intel plant a pile of times.



    it would be nice for my parents if they had an Apple store in NM.



    at least one store per state would be nice, if nothing else.

    santa fe is small, but aren't their a lot of filthy rich there?



    i haven't been in the area for about ten years.

    I'll put good money that Nashville will be getting one in 2004. They HAVE to!



    It's a) the capital of Tennessee and a huge, honkin' city with no shortage of creative types and money, b) it has pockets of wealth and yuppification like you can't imagine c) it has a bit of a music scene ( ) and with Apple's recent Logic/GarageBand/iTunes releases and activity, this just seems like a no-brainer.



    I'm actually shocked beyond words that there isn't one there already. Amazing.







    Next to Atlanta, Nashville is probably THE southern city of record.



    And with all those record labels, music publishers and two major league sport franchises (NFL and NHL), I'd imagine there being quite a huge design/web/marketing presence there, using, you guessed it, LOTS of Apple gear.



    So yeah, I'm saying Nashville. Probably somewhere around West End? Or maybe down in Franklin at the big mall (a nice, upscale area, Franklin).

    Charlotte's getting one in March. In the pretty swank (for Charlotte) South Park mall. That'll make 4 Apple Stores within 4 hours for me when I move back up to RTP in July. I don't know what I'd do if I lived around SF where there are so many you'd have to decide which one to go to.

    Heh. There is one practically in my backyard. Except I dont have a backyard or a front one for that matter. Hmm. That expression really doesnt have the general applicability of one that will last forever.

    Would love to see one in Nashville, but I think we'd probably see it in the Green Hills area. Of course, I'd be gunning for Hendersonville, myself....



    It really is amazing that Tennessee only has one Apple Store and it's in Memphis.

    You guys have The Mac Authority up there, right? Off I-65? I'm in Chattanooga...there's NOTHING Mac-related here. Just a Best Buy and a Circuit City: iPods, and that's it. And even then, quite iffy on stock. And certainly no one employed there who is even remotely Mac/Apple-savvy.



    Only one independent Mac place here, and they don't even sell gear anymore. Just a small, authorized service center on the other side of town. And they don't even work weekends, so if your stuff breaks, you have to take time off work to deal with it.



    I have to drive to Atlanta to get any sort of fix.







    I lived in Nashville a few years ago, for a year. Loved it. May go back. My best friend lives there. An Apple Store would certainly help sweeten the deal.

    I dont know if Pittsburgh has one or not, the one in the King of Prussia mall in Philly is a smaller sized one-WTF? Pennsylvania needs some more Apple presence, maybe one in the state capital (Harrisburgh)?

    I would rally, REALLY, really want to have some Apple stores in Europe.

    One per each major language zone.



    One (the biggest) in London.



    One in Paris.



    One in Berlin.



    One in Barcelona.



    One in Milan (or Rome).



    And maybe one in Stockholm, to try...

    Giaguara, you beat me to it . It would be great to have genuine Apple Stores here. Given that something like one in six iPods sold over Christmas was in the UK, the Trojan horse is in, it makes sense to open up the stores so people can get hold of all the other shiny Apple kit .

    as mentioned above a NO BRAINER is building one in Toronto....



    last time I checked 5th largest metropolis in North America maybe even 4th or 3rd if you count all of the 416/905...



    Toronto I hope will be the 2nd international Apple Store...



    I heard rumours that the new 'super mall' in Vaughn will be getting an Apple Store...



    perhaps not...

    Ye Olde Apple Store



    It's an Apple Store within an Irish Pub. They have Guinness on tap, even in warm kegs! Traditional irish music every Thursday through Sunday night, with iPod giveaways Thursday - Sunday as well! It will rock!
