Augusta GA Apple Store

Augusta Mall is getting an Apple Store next month. This work in progress is two doors down from The Chop House in the Promenade area of the mall. Below are just a couple of shots… I’ll try to get more over the coming weeks and update this post as progress becomes more evident. UPDATE: Apple… Continue reading Augusta GA Apple Store

Too Late?

Augusta’s finally getting an “official” Apple Store, but is it too late? ifoApple Store reported yesterday: “All of Georgia’s Apple stores are clustered within a 27-mile circle north and east of Atlanta, but not for long.

An Apple Retail Void

*sigh* So many Apple retail stores, and yet, the nearest stores to the Augusta, Georgia area are at least two hours away. Apple now has over 170 retail locations globally, and a majority of those are in the continental United States. Augusta (specifically Columbia County) or even Columbia, SC would make prime locations for an… Continue reading An Apple Retail Void
