Apple Store to Open at Pacific Centre Mall

Yes, I realize that you are able to walk into any number of stores to get your Apple fix these days. Go to Future Shop and you can buy an iMac. Go to London Drugs and you can buy a Macbook. Go to Zeller's and you'll find yourself awash with Apple iPods. Even so, it's quite a different experience altogether walking into an Apple store, getting surrounded by all things Steve Jobs.

While Vancouverites have been forced to go south of the border for this experience in the past, that'll change this May when Vancouver's first Apple Store opens in Pacific Centre Mall. Construction is already underway at the downtown shopping centre and people have started spotting "the glossy and distinctive Apple logo that we all know and love."

It shouldn’t really come as a surprise that an Apple store is finally opening its doors in Vancouver. The Apple empire has been expanding exponentially since the Ipod took the world by storm and the company has full intentions of continually increasing the retail network. At the moment Apple only has 170 locations worldwide, but they plan to start adding 40 new outlets annually. Vancouver is one of the first cities to be targeted for this mass expansion.

Could this be a possible indicator about the iPhone coming to Canada? Maybe. Time will tell.
