First Apple Store in Dublin, Ireland!

We heard rumors about Apple planning to open an Apple Store in Ireland for almost a year now. We heard about possible locations - Grafton Street, Henry Street.

Looks like Apple considered those as too expensive, as I spotted new, quite large, not yet opened shop just off the Usher's Island. Large, taking up two buildings store, with large glass displays has two large Apple logos outside, and through the blinds you can just about to see insides. It appears that shelves are still empty.

Interesting however, it still lacks it's mistery we know from US - there's no large curtain covering the store, waiting for a grand opening...

When will we see the store open? Time will tell...

  1. Surely that's not going to be an actual apple store all the way out there? Looks great n all, but they always have prime locations.

  2. You saw "shelves"? Do Apple actually have shelves in their Stores? Seriously doubt this would be an official AppleStore. Maybe a franchised AppleCentre but Usher's Feckin Island? No way. Not exactly a prime retail location like every single other AppleStore in the world, If its anywhere it would be Grafton Street or somewhere like Dundrum etc.

  3. Apple are using CompuB to open a premium reseller style apple shop opposite Trinity College. The store will open next month, March. It will take up three floors, including lecture area and full repairs etc.
