Apple sent emails with news that the St. Louis Galleria Apple Store will reopen Saturday after being "completely redesigned." The first 1,000 visitors will receive a free Apple T-shirt, the email said.
The redesign replaces a "mini" Apple Store in the St. Louis Galleria Mall with over 6,000 square-feet of space and a 55-foot wide storefront. It will be Apple's largest mall-based store in the U.S. when it opens Saturday.
The St. Louis store made news last week when rumors emerged that the store would have a new lounge area in front of the store. The permanent kiosk will offer free Wi-Fi and allow customers to check in to Genius bar appointments. According to ifoAppleStore, the new Apple Store "Genius Lounge" area will occupy a 592 square-feet space that has recently been vacated by Starbucks Coffee.

The Galleria Mall store in St. Louis is about 25 minutes from my home. I plan to be there to take it all in. Life is good.
I was in St. Louis on a work assignment when I scheduled a One to One appointment for my new iPhone, and I remembered thinking, "Gee, this Apple Store is tiny!" But the guy who assisted me was totally cute, so that made up for it.
I look forward to photos of the new store.

wow! that's almost 560 square meters! i'm sure that place will fill up quite easily on most days.
i still have a soft spot for the flagship Apple Store in the Ginza district of Tokyo, Japan; good memories
We needed a bigger store in the St. Louis area!! I will be there opening day to check it out!! The new lounge concept sounds great!!
