Apple unveils plans for 5 new retail stores

 

Apple Job listings confirm company plans to launch at least 5 more Apple retail stores in the first half of 2005.

Earlier this afternoon tipsters noted that Apple Computer has begun listing job openings for five new retail stores that are expected to open in the new year.

Jobs listings confirm that the Mac maker will launch retail outlets in San Antonio, Texas (La Cantera), Nashville, Tenn. (Green Hills), Salt Lake City, Utah (The Gateway), Grand Rapids, Mich. (Woodland), and Houston, Texas (The Woodlands Mall).

Tipsters note that past Apple retail store Job listings have been indicative of store openings that typically follow within a 3 to 6 month time frame, and suggest that all 5 locations will be open for business by mid-2005.

In related news, anonymous sources hint that Apple may have finally located a suitable venue for its Paris, France flagship store on the Avenue des Champs-Elysées. However, AppleInsider has yet to confirm such news with 100% certainty.

Earlier this month, Apple commemorated the launch of its 100th retail store with the unveiling of a "mini" store located in Bethesda Row, Maryland.
