Apple to open retail store in U.S. hedge fund capital (photos)
The classy, pricey destination is home to many shops and restaurants, and Apple intends to join their ranks in the near future. Photos provided to AppleInsider show that a location at 356 Greenwich Ave. is currently under construction.
Crates spotted outside the location by reader José Cerritelli bear Apple's name, as well as that of Kikukawa, maker of stainless steel panels used in Apple Retail Stores. Similar crates can be found at other stores under construction.
The boxes were stacked in front of an older brick building along Greenwich Avenue, next to Rinfret Home & Garden.
Greenwich is a small town well-known for being home to a large number of investment hedge funds. Its estimated population as of 2002 was 61,784.
There are currently three Apple Retail Stores in Connecticut: in Danbury, at the Danbury Fair Mall; in Farmington, at Westfarms Mall; and at the Stamford Town Center in Stamford.

That opening is close enough for me to go to... Maybe I'll finally get a Grand Opening T-Shirt

An examination of the photos show that it is Kikukawa. Kikukaka is what Microsoft Stores will be made out of. Sorry, couldn't resist. Apologies to Microsoft fanboys who have been flocking to these boards of late.
Wow, surreal.
I just had to register an account....
I live in Greenwich...I've driven past that location a few times. It used to be a Movie Theater but unfortunately went out of business...or fortunately...depending who you ask.
If anyone wants to meet there on opening day I'd be down.
What a small world lol.
Go Apple!
We need so many more stores. They're often overcrowded, and Genius waiting times on average are two-three days out here in the Portland area. I've began using a local reseller again, because of the lack of less waiting time. Portland has three stores.
Enjoy the store locals!
