According to Andy, Apple will be opening their Austin store on June 12th at Barton Creek Mall. That’s a Saturday, so I’ll be there… and I’ll likely drag my wife along, and my best friend Josh, who’s been saving up for a Mac… what better place to buy one than a Grand Opening of the first Apple Store in Austin?
I don’t know Andy’s source, but figure he’s got a good one… I hope that’s the right date, or that it’ll open sooner.
Happy birthday jigga!
I wouldn’t steer you wrong.
I don’t know what sales tax is in TX, but with 8.25% in so cal, I can fedex stuff here cheaper than the sales tax – Unfortunately for apple’s retail stores all my big purchages (>$1000) are mail order from out of state. And the apple webstore doesn’t count either since they have a physical presence in CA.
good point Kevin…
It’s not uncommon for there to be a promo on the first weekend at an Apple Store. The SF one had a 10% promo I believe, but that may have been tied to the Photoshop World attendees.
The Grand Opening of our Austin store is Saturday June 12, at 10 a.m. Hope to ya’ll there. The first 1000 people get free T-shirts!
