One day after Idaho’s first Apple store was revealed, Apple has tossed another retail dart at the Pacific northwest. It’s been confirmed that the company will open a store at the River Park Square shopping mall in downtown Spokane (Wash.). The city is just as underserved by Apple stores as Boise, which will also host a store later this year. The red-brick, three-level mall faces onto the Spokane River and, understandably, Riverfront Park. It’s also adjacent to the city’s convention center and arena, which draws visitors to a wide range of events. The store could open by the end of September.

Excellent news. Spokane basically flows into Post Falls and Coeur d’Alene (both of the latter in North Idaho), and there is some serious money in North Idaho.
And nothing yet in London Ontario?
Or Kitchener/Waterloo/Cambridge Area
more cities wasted in Canada and waiting…
Yes!!! As a lifetime Spokaloo resident, and 22 year Mac user, I say it’s about time.
If so that would be excellent – though we are well served by an independent, Strong Technologies – hopefully that won’t negatively affect them as they’ve been supportive of everything Apple.

Thanks for the word on Spokane. I’ve always appreciated the spoken word.
Spokane undeserved? Seriously? We’re the 2nd largest city in Washington State with 205,000+ people in the city limits alone. Spokane Metro kicks our number up to 600,000+ . Over half a million people is “undeserved”. Kirkland, WA has one and they only have 45,000 people. Thats before you throw in folks just over the border in Idaho from Post Falls, Hayden Lake, Rathdrum and Coeur d’Alene. What’s stupid is that we’re not even getting a full Apple store, just an mall outlet.
Michael, it says “underserved,” not “undeserved.”
So it does. Urps. :)
