Back in April we exclusively reported Metropolis at Metrotown in Burnaby would receive an Apple Store, making it the fourth location in BC (the others at Pacific Centre, Oakridge, and Richmond Centre). The construction of the store was pretty obvious, but there was no official confirmation an Apple Store would be going in there–until now.
This afternoon, it was confirmed the black wall lining the storefront was indeed going to be an Apple Store, as the iconic Apple logo was revealed on the outside. It was further confirmed by the official Metropolis at Metrotown twitter account.
Here are a couple pictures of the new store front:

what area is this in metro?
Top floor by Guess, Armani, Lululemon, Mexx, La Vie en Rose..
Not a fan of Apple, but quite excited about this since I pretty much pass this store every day. An apple store within 10 mins walk distance from home sounds really good.
I will be away by the end of this month. Hopefully, I won’t miss out the grand opening. But most likely, I will do… -_-
curious to know if this store will be open along with iPhone 5 launch??
You can bet it’ll be open in time for the launch. It will most likely coincide perfectly.
