The pressure is on to finish several future Apple stores around the country–there are at least 15 stores scheduled to open before September 1st. One example is at the Renaissance at Colony Park mall in Ridgeland (Miss.), the first Apple store in the state. A tipster noted workers at the store long after sunset, illuminated by a portable light tower shining on the as-yet unfinished façade of the store. There is black material covering the upper part of the storefront, with the location of the future backlit Apple logo conspicuously marked.
