Apple Store coming to Greensboro
GREENSBORO — Greensboro is getting an Apple Store.
Excited about the new Apple Store coming to Greensboro? We want to hear from you.
A retail store for the computer company will open near the Shops at Friendly Center "early next year," said Coolidge Porterfield Jr., president of the Starmount Company.
Apple stores are destinations for technophiles, an electronic playground full of iPods, desktops and laptops customers are welcome to try out.
"I think it will help the Shops considerably, as well as Friendly Center," Porterfield said. "They bring a lot of traffic."
The stores also are known for its Genius Bars, the name of the computer service desks staffed with computer whizzes who can help pinpoint computer problems.
Apple's approach to retail stores — with an emphasis on one-on-one service — has gotten lots of press heading into the holiday season. The company has abandoned traditional checkouts. Instead, employees carry portable scanners they can use to ring up purchases.
