Fifth Apple Store Opening in Arizona

Apple has posted an announcement on its website, notifying Glendale, Arizona residents that a new Apple Retail Store is opening its doors there, this weekend. With the Grand Opening of the Arrowhead Apple Store, Apple is likely to offer visitors free T-shirts, and probably other surprises as well, so consider dropping by, if you happen to live in the area.

The Apple Store is located in Arrowhead Towne Center, at 7700 W. Arrowhead Towne Center (75th Avenue & Bell Road). According to Apple, it is just next to Sephora and Naturalizer, on the bottom floor, below the food court.

Usually, Apple Store Grand Openings net the first 1,000 visitors free Apple T-shirts, so there's no reason not to consider dropping by for just a few minutes. Also, Concierges are always there to give you advice and instructions, even if it's just an exit you seek. Speaking of advice, fans of Apple's products should already know that Apple Retail Stores offer an opportunity for people to get started with their Mac, through "One to One" training sessions with Apple geniuses.

Say you actually live in Glendale, Arizona, and your place is just blocks away from the soon-to-open Arrowhead Store. Say you've also been giving the Mac some serious thought lately, considering the big switch everyone's been up and down about as of late. Well, through its One to One training sessions at the Apple Retail Store, the company not only can make the switch easier, but it can also enable you to use all the features of Mac OS X to their greatest extent (for $99 a year).

Here's what Apple says about One to One personal training at the Apple Store: "You probably can't wait to get started, and in this series, we'll help you set up your Mac, get connected to the Internet, and become familiar with Mac OS X Leopard. We'll also show you how to customize your computer and safeguard your files." Lessons range from "Unpacking and Setting Up Your Mac" and "Introducing Mac OS X Leopard" to "Connecting to the Internet" and "Customizing Your Mac." Training sessions also offer valuable information on how to secure your Mac, even though there are few Mac threats out there at the moment. A guided tour is available too, right here.

These are just the smallest details regarding the advantages of having an Apple Retail Store close by. Thus, if you live close to 7700 West Arrowhead Towne Center Glendale, (AZ 85308 (623) 707-2860), why not drop by the new store (if only just for the T-shirt). Opening hours are: Mon - Sat: 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; Sun: 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
