Apple has released two nearly identical press releases announcing the opening of two new retail stores, one in Akron, Ohio, the other in Mishawaka, Indiana. Both retail establishments are to begin operations on Saturday, November 13, Apple confirmed.

The Apple Store, Summit Mall is located at 3265 West Market Street, Akron, OH 44333, the first report reveals.

“The Apple Store University Park Mall will open to the public on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST,” reads the report.

The Apple Store, University Park Mall is located at 6501 North Grape Road, Mishawaka, IN 46545, reports the company behind the Mac operating system.

“The Apple Store University Park Mall will open to the public on Saturday, November 13, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. EST,” Apple confirms.

Both reports contain detailed overviews of Apple’s retail store, the concepts surrounding them, their purpose etc.

“Every Apple Retail Store offers a range of free services designed to help customers get the most out of their Apple products, including face-to-face support and advice at the Genius Bar, hands-on workshops and special programs for kids,” Apple states.

“Customers who buy a Mac at the Apple Retail Store or Apple’s Online Store can also join the popular One to One program.”

Apple explains that, “For just $99, owners of a new Mac get Personal Setup to customize their computer and transfer files from their old Mac or PC, plus a year of Personal Training sessions and Personal Project support on a wide range of topics, from getting started on a Mac to advancing their digital photography or moviemaking skills.”

The Mac maker doesn’t forget to promote some of its popular products (heck, they’re all popular) with Christmas knocking on the door, saying: “Apple Retail Stores are the perfect place to shop for must-have gifts this holiday season, including the magical iPad which lets users browse the web, read and send email, enjoy and share photos, watch HD videos and much more.”

The Mac maker continues to tout its products, mentioning that Apple Retail Stores also offer free hands-on sessions for every customer looking to test out the new, fourth-generation iPod touch, the new MacBook Airs, and, of course, the elusive iPhone 4.
