Apple Thoughts: St. Louis Galleria Apple Store Opens Tomorrow at 9am

"Visitors to the St. Louis Galleria (Mo.) Apple store this Saturday will find a new space at a new location, offering about four times the display and service area of the mini-store that opened at the mall in 2004."

This was a move by Apple from their mini-store into the new 6,000 square foot space. They have an on-going project apparently to convert the original nine mini-stores to the full-size version. This one is going to be the largest mall-based store that Apple has, at least to this point in the expansion of the empire. First 1,000 customers, when the doors open at 9am, will be given the usual t-shirt. You can find out more about the store at the store page on Apple's site.
