But never over estimate Hawaiian Labor! Those stone setters may make it last until after the Munich Store opens! it will be a race of the Sloths!

The second floor is not for walk-in customers. It seems to be storage, office and employee area. The staircase is behind the wall on the West side and is made of wood. Not an Apple retail design. The elevator is next to the staircase, also behind the wall. The Genius Bar is at the back right (as seen from the street) right next to the mall side entrance door. Because of shopping center requirements, this will be a very different looking store. Maybe Apple made a mistake by not making a more distinctive design but it would have greatly increased their costs for little retail return.

I didn't see any glass staircase from the previously posted pics from this store. How is level changing accomplished? Also, I distinctly remember seeing the Genius Bar on the 1st floor behind a column, why not on the second floor? -Brian Wow really nice panorama picture.
