Excellent story, Simon, unfortunately you have a slight error. Fetzer will have been in operation for 100 years in 2009 according to their website. Please correct the information. Thanks!

cool story, thanks for sharing. i’ve always felt that apple has done a great job at having gorgeous, minimalist stores that bring a focus to the product and customer service.

Well, I don’t have a Mac, but The Other Blogger in this establishment does and we went to both the 5th Avenue store in NY (your pic) and the Soho one, last year. The 5th Ave one, open literally 24/7 and thronged, has to be seen/experienced just for the buzz if nothing else. The Soho one is better for getting attention - at least so we found - and has a theatrette for the training sessions: much comfier than the “stand at a counter” setup at the 5th Ave one. And they have free wifi in the stores. I was using my Asus laptop and kept wondering when someone would come by and throw me out. Didn’t happen. Great that they are opening a store in Sydney.

Well said, Simon. That’s also why Apple has grown to be one of the top ten consumer electronics retailers in the United States.
