Apple is expanding its international retail presence in force this coming weekend with all but one of six new stores opening outside of the US over the course of the next several days.
Switzerland is first and will see its two inaugural Apple stores open within a day of each other. Geneva's
Rue de Rive will open its doors at 5PM local time on Thursday the 25th, while Zurich's
Glattzentrum opens at 10AM the following day. Both will allow users to try iPhone 3Gs in store.
In Canada, Calgary's first store at
Market Mall and Toronto's fourth at
Fairview will both start business at 9:30AM on Saturday.
The home of trip-hop music in the UK, Bristol, gets its own store at
Cabot Circus on Thursday the 25th with an unusual mid-day, 12:30PM opening. The store is the 19th in the country.
Lastly, a lone American store gets its debut on Saturday when the
Royal Hawaiian opens its doors on Saturday at 10AM. It's the third in the island state and has earned minor infamy for a delay in getting rocks from the same Hawaiian island for its front face. Local legends forbid transporting rocks from other islands.
