After a couple of years of false starts and some on-again, off-again displays of progress, Apple will open a retail store in Pyramid owned Carousel Mall.

The first attempt at a store, or rumors first surface on the Apple website a in 2002 when a dot appeared on the map about 3 pixels south of Lake Ontario. Shortly after, it mysteriously, and quietly disappeared. Rumors of a Syracuse store surfaced again in May.

No one really believed it this time. But it’s true. The new Apple store opens on 06 November. The store follows Apple’s new retail model, which will allow the company to bring its retail experience to “new and exciting” markets, according to Steve Jobs. But enough about retail strategy, and rumors.

Stressdesign would like to send a neighborly welcome to our new Mac neighbors, and were glad to have purveyors of fine design goods in town. It’s good for Apple, it’s good for Syracuse.
