hope i sized these right .. first time see'ing a mini store. it has the same look and feel as the larger flagship store, compressed into a 22 foot store. it felt a bit cramped, but it could be because it was packed ... the front looks just like the Downtown San Francisco Apple store, including the window displays


leaflet


the outside (sorry couldnt get a better shot .. too many people got in the way in the other shots i took..



One small Genius Bar..



If you check the top of this image, you can see the signs that mark how the store is divided.



the shirt supposedly looks like this (first 1000 visitors)

I wouldnt know, as I dont plan on opening mine. I'm going to keep it on my computer desk. It'll become an accessory!

I was talking to the repair guy at an Apple dealer here. They have an old poster with a rainbow Apple logo on it. He say's he's been offered upwards of a $1000.00 for it.

People are insane. Never assume some insane person with money might not absolutely have to have an un-opened reatail store shirt box some day. I say keep it.

I hope we will see a flood of Apple stores in Europe too.
The current resellers suck.

not doing it for money, kinda like a souvenir. I wont wear it (i don't wear black t shirts. i don't wear t shirts with words or logo's on 'em (regardless how cool) just because .. i dunno why .. i only wear regular plain t shirts ... it's not branding or whatever, i just .. i dunno. taking it out now would only make it dusty, and eventually (if i hang it near a window) faded ... no point .. i wont wear it .. i'll just keep it pristine in it's pristine box...

by the way .. even the box is cool. the bottom isn't a flap. it's only got one opening (at the top, and it ... well hard to explain .. if u guys haven't seen one and dying to know, i'll take pix ... it's a unique box .. for something that's cardboard and only holding a shirt ... attention to details .. man

that looks like the apple store i go to. i think more of them are of the "small" than the "big" (chicago, soho in NYC) design.
