I will be working at the new Vancouver Apple Store. Our training will be done on May 17. I think the store will be open on May 18 (Sunday) or 19 (Victoria Day).

I would describe the other Mac retailers in the area as mediocre at best. Simply isn’t bad, but they lack specialized knowledge / service in areas like music or video work on the Mac, but at least the staff there is honest and will tell you, “I don’t know” … unlike the staff at westworld who will BS you; if I want to be BS’d by ignorant commissioned sales staff, I’ll shop at Futureshop. Also, I’ve noticed that some of these retailers mark prices above what they go for at the apple online store, which is as shockingly greedy as it is stupid.

I like the idea of a Gastown or Granville Apple store.

In regards to the comments on the Vancouver Apple reseller stores. All my dealings with most of these stores have been lack luster, based on knowledge, variety, service, tech. and software. Simply Computing being by far the worst nightmare and Mac Station and Discount mac club being OK. I can’t wait to deal with just true Apple Store personel and products!!!!

As far as location I think the Jameson House project would be a bad location.

I doubt Gastown greatly.
Too far off the beaten track…

I have to put my vote in for Gastown. The Inform move WAS mysterious, and the renovations happening in the old location are really closed off. I can’t sneak a peak, try-as-I-might.

Best Buy/Future Shop will be opening Apple stores within stores in dt Vancouver. They will be the first in Canada and considered “flagship” stores. Vancouver you rock! 2 within blocks of each other. Sweet!

I’d heard the same about H&M going into the old Holt’s site.

The Jameson House rumour is just plain daft. There’s no way they’d wait that long to have a store. They haven’t even begun work, and that’s a long lead-time, even for retail. It’s too far out of the way as well.

So I’m sticking with 820 Granville. Looks like a dead-cert to me.
