Apple to open retail store in U.S. hedge fund capital (photos)
Apple has begun construction of a new retail store along the upscale Greenwich Avenue in Connecticut, and AppleInsider has exclusive photos of the new location.The classy, pricey destination is home to many shops and restaurants, and Apple intends to join their ranks in the near future. Photos provided to AppleInsider show that a location at 356 Greenwich Ave. is currently under construction.
Crates spotted outside the location by reader José Cerritelli bear Apple's name, as well as that of Kikukawa, maker of stainless steel panels used in Apple Retail Stores. Similar crates can be found at other stores under construction.
The boxes were stacked in front of an older brick building along Greenwich Avenue, next to Rinfret Home & Garden.
Greenwich is a small town well-known for being home to a large number of investment hedge funds. Its estimated population as of 2002 was 61,784.
There are currently three Apple Retail Stores in Connecticut: in Danbury, at the Danbury Fair Mall; in Farmington, at Westfarms Mall; and at the Stamford Town Center in Stamford.

An examination of the photos show that it is Kikukawa. Kikukaka is what Microsoft Stores will be made out of. Sorry, couldn't resist. Apologies to Microsoft fanboys who have been flocking to these boards of late.
Wow, surreal.
I just had to register an account....
I live in Greenwich...I've driven past that location a few times. It used to be a Movie Theater but unfortunately went out of business...or fortunately...depending who you ask.
If anyone wants to meet there on opening day I'd be down.
What a small world lol.
Go Apple!
We need so many more stores. They're often overcrowded, and Genius waiting times on average are two-three days out here in the Portland area. I've began using a local reseller again, because of the lack of less waiting time. Portland has three stores.
Enjoy the store locals!

There will come a time where they will not be beneficial to the shareholders.

phew. thank god. i was afraid the article wouldn't mention the town's population from seven years ago. do you have the month and day that estimate was calculated?
Greenwich Ave is about a 15 minute drive from the Stamford Town Center. Maybe they'll put one in every CT town?
Wow - those are really exclusive pictures! How did AI get access? Maybe if someone brings an iPhone to opening day we can see some exclusive shots from the inside.
Still, looks like it will be another impressive looking retail store.

Access to what? The pictures are of the outside from the public street.
Somebody drove by and saw what was written on the outside of the crates and knew what it meant and sent it in to AI.

That would be nice, most likely it will look like all the other Apple stores. I predict this one gets a glass staircase, the building looks like it can handle two stories easy.

Especially since it seems to jut out further towards the street than the other stores next to it.
Yes it will be impressive.
