Apple’s Chadstone Store Opens September 13, 2008
Apple fanboys stuck in the last stages of despair over the lack of a Victorian Apple Store can now turn their angst into excitement. Apple has announced that their Chadstone store is set to open at 9am on September 13, 2008.
They’ll be selling the same stuff as the Sydney and Chatswood stores, but in Victoria, although the timing will be convenient for anyone looking to pick up a new iPod.
Anyone of our Melbourne readers looking to head down next weekend?

Hell no,
Chaddy is a hole of place to be opening a store, its about 25 minutes drive from the heart of the city and a pain in the arse to get to after work even on weekends
I’ll be there Giz
lets see what they have in store for us
@Owey: don’t know if I’d call Chadstone a ‘hole’, especially when you consider it’s in the (nice) eastern suburbs as opposed to the (nastier) northern/southern/western suburbs. It’s also having a new wing built to house designer brands. This will make it the largest shopping mall in Vic afaik.
Chaddy isn’t some “hole”…atm it is a massive mess with the renovation/extension work going on (god the new wing is massive!), but it’s an excellent place to open the first Apple Store…buses run constantly from Oakleigh Station to Chaddy, and the carpark is truely massive
Dunno if id wana be there in the first weekend though…might wait until the holidays come around
I’ll be there at 9:30 – the site says it opens at 10
:-D
There’s been an apple store at chadstone for years. What’s the news??
I can’t understand the location for this store at all. Surely somewhere closer to the CBD would have been better? In Chadstone, it’s really only accessible to those in the Eastern suburbs, and yes, it is a hole, just one that seems to have an overly high opinion of itself.
If I’m not mistaken, Chaddy is actually the largest shopping centre in Australia. i’ve walked past the Apple store construction site a few times. It’s covered up quite well, so you can’t see what’s going on in there. Never been an Apple user though (and don’t plan to be) so I guess it doesn’t really affect me either way.
