Liverpool One Apple Store Grand Opening

Jul 23, 2008 10:26 GMT  ·  By

Earlier this spring, an Apple store was announced to be opening its doors somewhere within the Liverpool One development, with George Davies also opening an S'porter store in the vicinity. At the time, Apple was also hiring staff for the upcoming establishment. The Grand Opening for the Liverpool One Apple Retail Store has now been confirmed to happen this Saturday.

Apple notes on its website that the first 1,000 people through the doors will be getting a free Apple T-shirt. This is usual practice for Apple, whenever it announces a "Grand Opening" for one of its stores. However, the Liverpool One is not all about that - more is to be expected. Apple also says that fans can join the Grand Opening to get the chance to win a Digital Lifestyle Collection that includes a black MacBook and a silver iPod nano. You'd better be there at 9 a.m. sharp!

The exact address where you have to be is: Unit 95, Paradise Street (West), Liverpool One Shopping Centre Liverpool, L1 8JF 0151 472 2600. The Apple Store, Liverpool One, is located on the ground floor of the Liverpool One Shopping Centre, which is on Paradise Street in Liverpool.

Those who are really interested in Apple's products and Workshops and Events can book a session either on Monday, July 28, 2008, between 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm, for an iWeb Workshop, or between 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm for an iPhone Workshop. "Take your website, blog or podcast to the next level. iWeb lets you create awe-inspiring websites and blogs - complete with podcasts, photos" and more, says Apple. As for the iPhone Workshop, Apple posts "Get to know the new iPhone 3G in a workshop that takes you through the basics. See how easy it is to make calls, send email, use Safari to browse the web..." etc.

On Tuesday, July 29, 2008 (12:00 pm - 1:00 pm), Apple staffers will be hosting iPod and iTunes Workshops. "Explore iTunes for Mac and Windows and learn why it is the best digital jukebox on the planet. You'll learn to import and organize your music" and other great stuff, Apple notes. Between 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm, on the same day, a GarageBand Workshop is available, if you want to register. According to Apple, "GarageBand puts an entire recording studio right on your Mac." The company promises to show you just how to use it - composing a song with loops, beats, and all that.

Following the Grand Opening this Saturday, store hours will be:

Mon - Fri: 9:30 am to 8:00 pm Sat: 9:00 am to 7:00 pm Sun: 11:00 am to 5:00 pm
