Just to note, there are indeed positions open on Apple's employment site for an Uptown location. It will be interesting to see how this will affect FirstTech's business.

I'm sure it will drive them out of business. F**k Apple.

In the documentary "Welcome to Macintosh" they talk to First Tech employees because it was the first apple retailer in the entire country! I can't believe they would be such a**holes to them. Of course, I always go to an Apple store rather than going to First Tech even though I am only 5 miles from it...so I guess I have to eat my words too.

I know a guy that works at a different Apple Store and talked to him about the new Uptown location and he basically confirmed what we all pretty much already knew, that the former Uptown Bar is the site of the new Apple Store.

The building seems to be in later stages of construction, so now the scaffolding in front is draped with black stuff to obscure the inside. Still looks exactly like an Apple Store.

It's so nice of them to block traffic on Hennepin to keep up their shroud of mystery. Soooo secret-y of them.

From KSTP's Southwest-Calhoun blog:

Apple plans to open a new location on Hennepin Avenue later this month, which will sit next to a new Columbia store

Walked by the Apple Store yesterday over lunch and there was a group of really friendly people inside.
