Attention, residents of San Mateo et environs: Apple’s newest retail store opens its doors this Saturday in Burlingame, Calif. The store’s grand opening is planned for Saturday, July 26th at 10AM, and it will remain open until 9PM. Located at 1301 Burlingame Ave., Apple’s new store is on the corner of Burlingame Ave and Park Road right next to Peet’s Coffee.
Apple retail store grand openings are always events, and the Burlingame store opening is no different. The first 1,000 people in the door will get a free Apple t-shirt. The store is also offering ten lucky iChat AV users a chance to win a new Apple iSight video camera, while the Grand Opening Sweepstakes puts a Digital Lifestyle Collection in one lucky recipients hands; the collection includes a 15-inch flat panel iMac with Combo drive, Canon PowerShot S230 digital camera, ZR60 digital camcorder and Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer.
Ongoing presentations and workshops are also scheduled for the Burlingame store’s theater area, including presentations on digital music, photography, movies, Final Cut Express, iChat AV and iSight, and more. And every Saturday at 9AM (after the first one, when the store opens, obviously), a special Getting Started class helps Mac neophytes get up to speed with their new systems.
