Hey so the apple store in richmond centre is opening tomorrow, do they have any promotions that go on there?

[gilly]

hmm... they shoulda opened their new apple store at metrotown instead of richmond. pc and rmd centre are already fairly close to each other. prob get more traffic at metro too.

[Liquid_o2]

Probably looking at spending profiles and demographics of the surrounding area when choosing the location.

PC and Richmond Centre are not even close to each other. Do you mean the Oakridge Apple store?

[MelonBoy]

I wonder if they have the iphone in stock for the opening day.. lol god i bet theres a lot of poeple gonna be lining up
lol

The Richmond Center rebrand is like 10x better than what Metrotown will have.
Thats why its there

Everyone thinks metrotown is so great, but seriously its just a giant mall.

There is actually very little space available at Metrotown these days, so I'm sure Apple would have needed to wait several months, or years, before something fitting their needs came up.

I'm a Burnaby guy, so call me biased, but there's no way Richmond Centre will ever get the same traffic as Metrotown despite the re-brand. Metrotown is connected by Skytrain so it gets traffic from the west and the east (e.g. Surrey) Richmond Centre is connected to Canada Line now, but it still doesn't have major tennants like Zara and Forever 21.

[Spectre_Cdn]

^Forever 21 is coming soon.

http://www.richmondcentre.com/en/centreinfo/Pages/TheRebirthofRetail.aspx

NEW RETAILERS

Forever 21, Sephora and Teopia are coming to Richmond Centre!
A phenomenon in the fashion world, Forever 21 is the source for the most current fashions at the greatest value. Sephora brands themselves as the world's premier beauty destination. They feature over 200 classic and emerging brands across a broad range of product categories including skincare, colour, fragrance, bath & body, smilecare and hair care. Teopia is the fastest growing loose leaf tea company in Canada. They offer high quality, delicious tea as well as a wealth of knowledge. Teopia sells over 100 varieties of premium loose leaf tea. We expect that Sephora and Teopia will open this fall and Forever 21 in the new year.

no Zara, but Forever 21 is opening soon, part of the whole redesign

Exactly. Even on its busiest days Richmond Centre doesn't get half the traffic that Metrotown gets.

I'm not sure why anyone would call Metrotown "just a giant mall" as some sort of detraction. I mean, what's Richmond Centre? Just a medium-sized mall?

[Tapioca]

no Zara, but Forever 21 is opening soon, part of the whole redesign

Not that I shop at Forever 21, but the one at Metrotown is 2 floors. All Metrotown needs is an H&M and it basically has all of the major chains and stores under one roof. The place will still remain a zoo on weekends. ;)

[BaoXu]

metrotown needs to bring johnny zees back.

[SkunkWorks]

And Rainforest Cafe.

[SolidPenguin]

And playdium

[Ronin]

Whichever mall gets UNIQLO to come here, that's the best mall.

[Hondaracer]

if Metro got an Apple store it would be 10 times busier than PC every day.

[murd0c]

And Rainforest Cafe.

man I loved the bbq chicken pizza they had there :drool

[jackmeister]

Whichever mall gets UNIQLO to come here, that's the best mall.

the closest would be Aberdeen...

[Delerious]

oh man, the sea of scarves and tight pants is going to be epic at the opening.

[dachinesedude]

theres a picture of the lineup from last night

Wow. Good thing I didn't even bother to go. I heard around 10 am the line up was all the way to sears

[dimsum119]

lol so why is everyone lining up for the new apple store again? Isnt it the same shit at PC, metro, oakrdige etc.?

[hal0g0dv2]

^^ yeah just like them all

[CP.AR]

^ free shit for first 1000 people, and I heard they got a healthy supply of iPhone 4s in stock

[NSX]

^^Free Tshirt. And it sucks. Says "Richmond Center" on the front. With a tiny apple. lol.

[TOS'd]

Anyone know when they will be stocking the new ipod touch, nano, and shuffle?

[dimsum119]

hahahahaa thanks for the update

[wobuffet]

the closest would be Aberdeen...if aberdeen carried uniqlo...it'd be fake.
same with parker place etc...

[Teriyaki]

if aberdeen carried uniqlo...it'd be fake.

They do have Giordano atm.

What they need at Aberdeen is Giordano + G2000 + Bossini + Uniqlo, throw in some 2% and you've got yourself an actual asian shopping destination.

[c3m]

Anyone know when they will be stocking the new ipod touch, nano, and shuffle?

They have them all already
only some colors on the nanos

also, the new shuffle, nano and ipod touches are in stock at futureshop and bestbuy already as well

[TOS'd]

They have they all already
only come colors on the nanos

what?

anyways ok, ill head to bestbuy tmr

[versep]

man when I went on a roadtrip to edmonton mall with my friends they had 800 iphone 4's in stock at their apple store. I just walked in and walked out with an unlocked 16GB, then to rogers to transfer sims and contacts. Done in 10 minutes. This low stock deal in vancouver sucks!

[Mr.HappySilp]

Why don't people just order form apple store direct?
Sure you have to wait for 2 to 4 weeks but it sure beats lining up at mid night just to get a chance for the iphone4.

[PiuYi]

but it still doesn't have major tennants like Zara and Forever 21.

didn't Zara used to be in RC? n then they closed it for whatever reason

[MelonBoy]

I think its because if you sign a 3 year with your phone provider you can get the phone for like $159 or $259.

Maybe if you order it in they dont allow you to do the certain transaction to make it that cheap?

My guess :p

[Gh0stRider]

friend is looking for one. do they still have iphone4 in stock?

[bengy]

yap it sucks but i think we have higher demand for iphone 4 here than edmonton though

[J____]

Whichever mall gets UNIQLO to come here, that's the best mall.

i much prefer topman over uniqlo

[TRDood]

yap it sucks but i think we have higher demand for iphone 4 here than edmonton though

it's because we have
1. crazy apple fans
2. rich asians

i was working in ottawa when the phone launched. after work at 5, i decided to go to the apple store and check out the line. there were only about 30 people and i got my phone in about 15 minutes.

[rawr]

i much prefer topman over uniqlo

+1 for topman. although it's more expensive than uniqlo tho.

[_Hotsauce_]

Clearly Apple would do no research in regards to opening a store.

[ilvtofu]

Heck open a muji in aberdeen lol

Damn I wouldn't want to imagine an apple store @ metrotown, oakridge which isn't even that popular a destination besides the food court and kin's farm has an apple store and that one is packed all the time too. People are just playing on the ipads and stuff and only on the weekends do you ever see people walking out with purchases LOL

Metro = too many north face bombers walking around, ruins it for me LOL not saying rc doesn't though just saw these punks get arrested outside timmy ho's 2 weeks ago there.

[Anjew]

metrotown needs to bring johnny zees back.

you just dated yourself buddy lol

its only a slight premium... sometimes i see purses and wallets for ladies worth $3000, i'm wondering which is more of a rip off

Why are you even comparing apples to oranges. He's saying it's overpriced comparing to PC.

[Boostslut]

You should go into a Hermes store.

No kidding.

$700 for a 2" tie clip.

The purses are better since they're still worth shit after 2 years...

how many people are carry/buying those compared to Apple products?
only the rich can buy $3000 purses while people who have $10 will spend that $10 at the apple store to buy something...

all that fake hype made me cringe a bit..

[Ronin]

It seems a little strange to have so much fanfare over a store...like a normal store where you go to give people money for stuff.

[teaoh]

Gotta say that was a really weird opening... unneeded?

[dub.g]

it seems mac users/apple fanboys has created a lifestyle or culture based on their products

its only a matter of time until South Park makes an episode about this..

i like my iphone 4, but otherwise ill stick to my windows OS..

well besides the phone, the other apple product i have is my 2nd gen shuffle that i used for my work out

Apple fanboys are sheep. People were clapping and cheering when the Apple store opened their doors on the iPhone 4 launch day. Embarrassing.

[Yuffa]

You can bash Apple however you want....but at the end of the day....whoever makes the Mula = Win.

Just to elaborate a little more.....As much as we all hate the pretty packaged computer vs the PC....the sucker point is the maket EATS this style. Would you take a smart soficated office OL girl that's still wearing the 90's bell-bottom jeans? Or the hip designer girl with the hot body and the pretty face? People are quite shallow at the end of the day and shiny colourful multi-touch screens just draws people like flys to Fluorescent lamps in the middle of nowhere.

[rsx]

who cheers for this shit????? WTF.

I have an iphone, but I'm not going to stand in line and cheer like an idiot over a store opening.

Watching those people...fucking gross.

New season of Futurama did an episode where Bender and Fry was trying to reach a million Twitter followers and when they did, the Mom Corp that makes the Eyephone turned everyone into zombies for some big plan they had. That big plan was to get everyone back in line to buy a new Eyephone :D
