Here are the first photos of the Stonestown (N. Calif.) retail store–they had black paper covering the windows until 8 a.m., and a shoplifting alarm sounded for 30 minutes! Albert was first-in-line at 5:30 a.m., but graciously let 10 year-old Nick be the first through the door, with about 150 persons in line behind him at 10 a.m. The store is about 23-feet wide, so it’s in the "small" category, but with all standard store features. Oh, and a small brown mouse was running between the empty space to the right of the Apple store and the Herbal Scents kiosk in front of the Apple store. When an employee bent down to open the front door, the mouse made a bee-line for the door, but swerved at the last moment and ran under a large planter box! Later, the mouse appeared on top of a local kiosk and had to be chased away. [interior] [exterior]
