Apple store in Dublin, at long last

michael.eirpod@gmail.com (Michael Ryan) — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:10:43 PDT

Here

Most articles seem to be cut and paste with the same info but here are my reasons why its on the way

1 There isn't one at the mo in the largest city on the island of Ireland

2 Spectra on College Green just closed last week, losing the almost standalone Apple retailer. You have to go northside to PC World in Jervis Street for instore apple purchases. With Spectras demise, the opportunity it ripe

3 They will need a bold retail presence when they announce job cuts in Apple in Cork...... Hmmmm stay tuned...

4 Property prices are falling to a more realistic level so Apple might buy and develop for the long term

5 Physical Presence is like advertising. Dublin is a good tourist destination so by association, both benefit.

6 Territorial advantage... Dublin is a capital city with a healthy student population who will be entering the job / commercial market with an appetite of what Apple are about

My choice of location.....

The vacant Habitat building, formerly Bank of Ireland 34 College green. Two store fronts, one opposite Trinity which would give a much needed retail boost to Dame St. The other front, Suffolk St, would lead to Grafton St. Split level, leaving room for the theatre / lecture space.... and a possibly a food outlet... Chill out and buy a latte & iPod....

oh and can I have an invite to the opening......
