I won’t jump into a PC vs Mac argument here but from a commercial real estate point of view I find this EXTREMELY unlikely.
14th St, NYC
5th Avenue, NYC
and, um…
Kent Ave, Brooklyn
No way, folks. It ain’t gonna happen. You think in this economy, Apple is going to invest millions into a store in an area with this little foot traffic? C’mon, think about it.
“Besides I’m not comfortable being in a group where everyone is actually smarter than I am on the subject matter at hand.”
You sure must be uncomfortable most of the time! 🙂
you mean fortunoff.
Yes, I heard Whole Foods, William Sonoma, and Bergdorf Goodman is moving in too.
….oooooh…..burn…..
I bought my Mac at the store at 59th & Fifth and have never needed to go back. Besides I’m not comfortable being in a group where everyone is actually smarter than I am on the subject matter at hand.
Which is why I enjoy posting here a lot. 🙂
Yup, I’ve been to a Apple store, they are as you say buzzing. That’s probably one of the reasons that I find them so annoying.
Personally, I like the product, I just don’t desire the retail “experience”.
Bottom line, their product works so well that they enable me the convenience of shopping from home. I know, couldn’t you just die? Hard to imagine right?
Williamsburg needs a place to check email for free…isn’t that why Apple stores are swarmed?
I think they moved to Dumbo, wasder. And they were evil.
