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.

    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.

    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.
