The Orlando (Fla.) region attracts over 50 million visitors each year, who combine with almost 2 million residents to create a retailer’s dream: $30 billion a year in spending. Now Apple intends to increase the odds of capturing some of that revenue with a third retail store 10 miles north at the Altamonte Mall. The mall alongside Interstate 4 is considered a super-regional, drawing from a wide swath of central Florida. The new store could open by this August.

I see the sense of a third store in the Orlando area (the other two have, at times, major problems keeping in enough stock of certain items to last to the end of a day), but Altamonte Mall??? I think a better choice that end of the city would have been Seminole Towne Center a few miles further north up I4 in Sanford….. It would capture the east coast beach market plus the area’s shoppers arriving in Sanford on the numerous UK charter flights!
Perfect…a third store I can now visit on my vacations to Orlando Florida …yeah!
How many total in florida now?
I just applied for a job with the Apple Store down here in Orlando and the ZipCode is different from the Altamonte mall and is actually where the Festival Bay mall is… so I’m hoping it’s there :)
