At the Grove here in LA you find the elevator behind the exit door at the left rear of the store. It is immediately adjacent to the public restroom. The other door (which has a keypad controlled lock) is the business office and now doubt other back of house space. Wait a minute. I’m trying remember if the restroom is upstairs or downstairs next to the elevator. I’m mixing up my Apple Stores. I have three that are a 20 minute drive from my house. We may not have a mega-store like NYC, but we make up for it in numbers.

I was not suggesting there was no elevator,I know they must have one, just wondered where it was. Is being hidden not an issue? Do they have to ask to use it?

@Ian

Multi-floor Apple Stores have elevators. They are usually hidden.

Probably behind the “exit” door.

Elevator(s) are required by law. They can’t pass building inspection without it. Plus how else are they going to transport things between the floors?

How do disabled people get to the lower floor without using the stairs?

Thanks for this, but I have to share my laugh this morning.

At first glance, I read the article’s title as: Future Johnsons Will Be Bigger, Store Says.

Very different angle on things, I suppose. ;)

Again Gary, GREAT gallery set, including pics of the angled glass, ventilation holes, security camera, but with one omission. Is there a photo of the “fire annunciator panel”? Outside of that, all around great quality photos. Now why hasn’t Apple authorized you as press yet? ;-)

[IFO - OK, you got me on that one. The annunciator panel requested no photos.]

The Park Meadows store in Lone Tree, just South of Denver, changed from one row of tables to two rows. Printers that had not been on display are back out on the floor. And when Apple does release a Tablet, there is now room for it.
