Residents of Liverpool (UK) will no longer have to make the 35-mile drive to Manchester to enjoy an Apple store–they’re getting their own next year when the sprawling Liverpool One urban project opens in city center. The project is more than retail, also encompassing 42-acres of residential, office and open space set among five distinctly-designed districts. According to the developer, it’s intended to create, “a new and compact focal point for urban living and leisure in the 21st century Liverpool.” It will be the 14th store in the UK, behind the nine existing and four other planned stores.

At last! Today I had to do that 70 mile round-trip to take back my cracked four month old MacBook (anyone else had this?) Can’t wait to have a store on my doorstep. I know that area of the city and the development site looks amazing. An exceptional addition to Apple’s retail portfolio. Wonder if Steve will turn up for the opening, he’s a big Beatles fan!
Yes!! I am gonna go beef up my CV now! So want a job there! :D
Fantastic news! My office is about 30 seconds walk from the scheme!
Meet you all in the opening day queue! A Beatle theme’d opening… good idea!
What’s this? Apple has a store in Albert Dock, Liverpool.
Not an Official Apple Store, it’s a reseller, the run the Warrington one also
The Albert Dock store is a dump, I have had nothing but bad customer service from them. They just want to take your money and then you can get lost, hope the Apple Store puts them out of business.
This has been a great store for me. Love my new mac system and the staff gavelaods of help setting it up.
Maybe I was the 1 unlucky one, but I had no help from them at all, I ended up going to trading standards about it :p
Just sent Gary a picture of the Apple hoarding at the new Liverpool One project, hopefully he will post for you all to see.
