The Gateway Grand Opening

Thanks to Doug for these photos of The Gateway (Utah) grand opening on Nov. 19, 2005.

The trees...such as they are...are decorated with lights outside the Apple store.

Note the new right-side window display, proclaiming that iPods are "cool."

The Studio is at the rear of the store, while the Genius Bar is on the right side. Note the rear wall--stainless stell similar to a mini-store design.

The holiday shirts are out...

The center portion of the store, with mid-height shelves with iPod accessories below and iPods on the top display surface.

The traditional 'kids' section, with books and software behind.

Thanks to Philip for the following photos of the grand opening.

A great long shot of the storefront showing its position on the multi-level outdoor mall.

Surroundign areas of the mall are still under construction.

The opening day crowd begins to gather and take pictures in front of the store.

Last minute window cleaning before the store opens.
