Apple Flagship Store opens Sainte-Catherine Street, Friday (9)
For those who are into Apple products, a brand-new Apple flagship store will open its doors this Friday, at 5pm, 1321 Rue Ste-Catherine Ouest.
Apple flagship stores are known for their superior customer service & experience, within a distinctive lush store, much alike the attention to detail found in their computer and electronic products. Another distinctive trademark of Apple stores is that you can take orders and check out anywhere, with Apple staff having their own payment systems, making it a great shopping experience compared to the one you can find at Best Buy or Future Shop.
In the U.S., these stores have on average $4,300 sales per square feet, per year, one of the highest ratio you can find in retail, and has helped Apple regain market shares since these were pushed by Steve Jobs.
Since other Apple resellers like CompuSmart closed shop lately, this is a more than welcomed new store.
I won’t be in Montreal for the opening, will you do a coverage (with photos)? :)
@Fred The Gazette will be there at 4 pm for the media sneak peak (I know, we get all the unfair advantages) and we’ll take lots of pics and videos.
I don’t promise anything but I’ll try my best to be around :)
Was the opening of the store delayed? I still can’t understand why they didn’t open it for the iPhone 3G launch.
The store is very nice though from what I saw from the street.
I don’t know… I have no information on the construction schedule for the store.
By the way, for the iPhone 3G launch, Apple didn’t sell them in their stores in Canada. They were only avalaible in Fido and Rogers stores. So even if this was opened, they wouldn’t have had any avalaible for you.

phil, we can’t see what’s on your desktop :-)
You are right, they only have the demos and are not selling any iPhone.
