It’s Ripe! Back Bay Apple Store Grand Opening

Green Monster Apple Store
Yes! The time has finally arrived for the general public to rush the brand-new Boylston Street Apple Store (815 Boylston Street, Back Bay, Boston) situated across the street from the Prudential Shopping Center.

Billed as Boston’s flagship branch — not to mention Apple’s largest store in the US of A — the shiny shop will offer visitors tons of technological amenities, such as “64 iPod music and video players, 104 Mac laptops and computers, and a third floor dedicated entirely to service that can accommodate 100 customers receiving one-on-one training at the same time,” according to a recent article in the Boston Globe.

The doors to the long and eagerly anticipated retail location will open at 6pm EST on Thursday, May 15, just in time to give the 9-to-5 crowd a few moments to catch its collective breath after the mad dash from offices all around the city. Closing is five hours later, at 11pm.

If you need a little incentive to put some pep in your step when you head over, how about the fact that Apple plans to hand out free limited edition T-shirts to the first 1,500 lucky souls to drop by? I bet they’ll be gone fast enough to make heads spin. Better still, the celebration will continue into and over the weekend, with free workshops and other special events.

Regular hours for the Back Bay Apple Store are Monday-Saturday, 8am to 11pm, and Sunday, 9am to 7pm. Expect large crowds and insanely happy faces, at least during the first few days.
