Apple Centre for Bondi Junction

Apple has apparently given up an opportunity to open an official retail store at the Bondi Junction mall in suburban Sydney (Australia), now that it has given its approval to local reseller Ben Morgan for a three-story store at the mall. Morgan operates an Apple Centre at Taylor Square, and has been attempting to obtain approval since last year, but Apple denied his request, reportedly over credit concerns. The store will have a glass and steel atrium, two floors of retail space, and one floor devoted to service and training. There has been on-going speculation on where Apple might open a store in Sydney, including downtown or at a suburban location.
