Not unexpectedly, residents of the peninsula south of San Francisco will receive yet another Apple store, cutting driving time in the congested area between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay. The store will appear inside the Hillsdale Shopping Center, a 1950s-era enclosed mall that is privately owned by the Bohannon family. With 130 shops over 1.3 million square-feet, the mall is definitely up-scale despite its age. The location will complete a network of Apple stores that includes San Francisco (23 miles north), Stonestown (20 miles N.), Burlingame (4 miles N.), Palo Alto/Stanford (12 miles S.), and Valley Fair (30 miles S.). The store could open before Christmas.
The San Francisco Bay area has several stores, including along the peninsula south of San Francisco. The new Hillsdale store (red pin) fills in an obvious gap in store locations, although there does appear to be another gap further south, around Sunnyvale.

Oh yea… San Mateo in the House!!!
Who’s up for a parking lot camp out… I will bring the mac mini equip. scion
I’m totally there! Been waiting for an Apple Store in San Mateo for a while now.
I wonder how many Apple Stores are off El Camino Real in California? or at least close proximity; considering the Burlingame store is somewhat off the El Camino, and the Stanford Shopping Center and Palo Alto stores are nearby to it, Hillsdale would make it the first, if not one Apple Store on El Camino Real.
Umm, how about the BIG gap on the East Bay side? You’d think there would be a store in that area before there is one in Sunnyvale…
