Apple store coming to Leicester Highcross Centre

Leicester-based fans of all things Apple retail rejoice: a brand shiny new Apple store is coming your way as part of the redevelopment of the Highcross/Shires shopping centre on the High Street. September 4th is the date to pencil into your, um, iPhones/iPods/Macs/MobileMe calendars/old-fashioned diaries.

Having lived in Leicester for a number of years for uni, this has of course come about five years too late for me. Hope you enjoy it, you lucky folk you.

    Good, can only be better than the current store, KRCS. i wanted a case for my iPhone and whilst looking at their display I was told NOT TO OPEN the package, as they would have to re-pack it. How could I tell if the iPhone case was what I wanted. Would you buy a car without opening the door??

    The KRCS in Birmingham was pretty much totalled when the Apple Retail Store opened in the next-door Bullring. Shame to watch the Starbucks-effect in action - can’t comment on the Leicester store but never had a problem with the Brum one - can remember going in and ooh-ing at the then-brand-new G5 iMac…
