New Apple Store in Norwich.

They did something similar at the belfast store, can't remember any retarded dancing but the "high 5" bs was in full effect. Suprised nobody got nutted just for a high 5. :p

There is rumours of one opening in Leeds, the building on Lands Lane with the aluminium look frontage is prime candidate, nothing has changed externally there for ages :/

I still don't quite understand the point of the stores. Online/phone orders for maximum discounts and convenience. Only thing I've ever bought from one is the iPod touch because I was walking by the store on the day it was released originally.

For new customers to actually get hands on time with the products is one of the main advantages along with the genius bar for training. Plus a majority of customers are still more comfortable buying items from a shop where they can speak to somebody and also where they can return it if something goes wrong.

Seriously?

a) people can buy stuff on the spot, no waiting
b) they can play with it for as long as they want to see if they want it
c) the staff are generally quite knowledgable, and if they don't know the answer they'll find someone who does (as opposed to just lie like other shops)
d) fast onsite repairs at the Genius Bar
e) personal training with the Creatives
f) free workshops to learn more stuff
g) Summer Camp, you can drop your sprogs in and have the trainers amuse them and teach them stuff for a few hours in the summer holidays

The stores have been a MASSIVE part of Apple's turnaround. Huge. They make stupendous amounts of money.

Do bear in mind that most people aren't aware that if you phone the online education store and commit fraud you can get a student discount, plus they want someone to show them, talk them through the purchase. A large amount of Apple's customers aren't know-it-all geeks, they're normal people, many of them timid of computers.

Regardless of my opinions on how they treat their staff, for the consumer the stores are amazing, and provide one of the best shopping experiences you'll find. They're head and shoulders above any other computer retailer.
