The Italy-based setteB.IT Web site has thoroughly investigated the future Apple stores in Geneva and Zurich (Switzerland), and has posted an extensive photo gallery of its tour of both cities. The two-level Geneva store is dead-center in an old-looking building served by the city’s tram system. The store is flanked by Auer Chocolats Cafeteria and a parfumerie, with offices on the upper floors. The Zurich store will be inside a large, five-story stone building along a tree-lined street, soon to be vacated by United Colors of Benetton. Signs in the display windows indicate a 30 to 50 percent off sale, explained with a sign that says, “…due to end of lease.” Construction will reportedly begin on the 2,100 square-foot Apple store in July, and the store could open in early 2009. The setteB.IT coverage also includes a look at local Apple resellers in both cities.

i live in geneva so i can tell that the apple store will replace an old movie theatre called “Hollywood”. Also, i was being interviewed for the creative position and the store will only have one floor, they will recruit 60 people, including 35 salesmen.
Hey Bartov,
If that’s your real name you probably won’t get a 2nd interview! Employees do check this site. There not supposed too… but it happens.
The “tree-lined street” is Zurich’s most important shopping street. This must be the most expensive kilometer of Switzerland - and Switzerland is not a cheap place at all.
This is the best location you can possibly find in Zurich.
