Apple Store to be opened in Japan
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
February 21st 2003
Will the mothership's first overseas owned, operated shop find a home in the land of
the rising sun?
Bloomberg quoting a Nikkei English News reports states that Apple will open its first
directly owned store in Japan later this year.
The report says that the mothership will open the shop in Tokyo's famed and
fashionable Ginza district instead of the Akihabara district (an area overgrown with
computer and electronics stores) in order to attract a broader clientele.
Editor's note: Apple may also be avoiding Akihabara in order not to tread on existing
resellers in the area. Also, not mentioned in the Nikkei report is the simple fact
that Apple Stores to date have been placed in high-traffic, high street locations,
which is an apt description of the Ginza.
