Apple Store West Edmonton Grand Opening
Jul 5th, 2008 by Jon
Michelle and I went to the Grand Opening of the Apple Store today! We arrived at about 7:15am and joined the other 14 people in line. The first guy was already there at 10am on Friday, and there were lots of people from the night before and even a guy from Calgary! The whole experience was pretty exciting - the line really started growing at about 9:00am, and by 9:30am the line looped around to American Eagle.
About ten minutes before the store opened, all the Apple Store employees got out of the store and high fived a few hundred people in line. They all returned to the store a few minutes later, where they started clapping and the store lights dimmed. At 10am, an Apple Store lady came out, thanked the crowd for coming, and started to let people into the store via the Apple Store employee cheer tunnel (I couldn’t find a better word)!
Michelle and I got inside the beautifully lit and clean Apple Store, where we bumped into Mack and Sharron. After browsing around and talking to some extremely energetic Apple Store employees, we left with our prize of Apple Store t-shirts (which were still being given out at 11am). See you at the Calgary Apple Store grand opening!
Hi Jon, How’s going? It was nice to meet you at the store… yep, I’m the ‘Calgary guy’. Just digging up info about the Montreal Store Grand Opening when I stumbled in here and found your blog. Nice place indeed! See you around… (maybe some time this year in Market Mall!)
P.S. Have you seen the t-shirt from Sainte Catherine Store? How come they have specially designed t-shirt and we hadn’t?
