Talk about giving the financiapocalypse the old one-two… Apple are opening their second retail store in a month, with their Doncaster store in Victoria set for its grand opening on Saturday May 23 at 9am.The Doncaster store will be the second Victorian Apple Store, bringing the grand total of retail outlets the company has opened in the past 12 months to five, with two in Victoria, two in NSW and one in Queensland.
Considering that the Australian iTunes Store has also started selling movies and TV shows in the same period of time, it’s fair to say that Apple are pretty keen on expanding their market position in Australia, and have been working pretty hard over the past 12 months to make it happen.
If anyone goes to the Doncaster Store launch on Saturday, let us know how it goes at tips@gizmodo.com.au.

Tuesday, May 19, 2009 at 11:51 AMWe are suppose to be in a recession but sometimes I wonder “What Recession?” when we see things like Apple opening up two new Australian retail stores within a month. I hope to see a Parramatta store sometime in the near future…

Saturday, May 30, 2009 at 4:19 PMI was at Doncaster the other day and noticed about 15 shops down their was a little computer store also filled with Apple products. Now i reckon that this small business’s profits will be cut in half at least! Was there anything in place to help small business?? i bet not! Damn large corporation taking over! (i got nothing against apple, i have one) its just the fact that small business can never win these days!
