A new Apple Store in Ottawa, Canada will be having its grand opening this Saturday, July 18th at 9:30 a.m.. As indicated by construction photographs, the Rideau Center location has very similar elements to the company’s other retail establishments, such as the Genius Bar and wall displays. Compared to other stores, the single-story outlet is larger than average. This should not come as much of a surprise, considering the store will be the first of its kind in Ottawa, the nation’s capitol, and only the ninth so far in all of Canada.
The only other Apple Stores in Ontario have been built in the Toronto area, leaving Ottawa residents with a shorter drive to the Montréal locations. Filling of the void may come as a relief to many, as the only other dedicated Apple carriers in the city are re-sellers such as Carbon Computing and the Mac Group.
Those visiting the store at 50 Rideau Street on Saturday will be directed by a Concierge wearing an orange shirt. The first 1000 visitors will be given a free Apple t-shirt.

I got in on this deal at West Edmonton Mall when the Apple Store opened here last year. Not sure if the shirts will be the same, but the one I got was really nice and from American Apparel.
wow that is nice, I am so far away.
i was @ vancouver pacific centre when they opened. the tee actually has “pacific centre” printed on it as well as the apple logo 🙂
When I went to the grand opening in Rideau the shirt I got just said ” (Apple Logo) Rideau”. And they were all XL
What about the skinnier ppl.??
Thanks for using my photo for this article, but it would be nice if I was notified and given the proper attribution for taking the photo.
Hi,
Thanks for sharing. Apple stores are reallyvery nice. I am so far, i wish even i would have got one t-shirt.
Hey Vu did you get proper consent from the people in the photograph or did you just hide behind your lens and take the shot?
@YY, I’m not profitting from the photo, since I only took it to show that there is a new Apple store in town. But if someone is profitting from my work, then the least they can do is give credit to the person who took the photograph.
Is there any more information about captcha code in your hand? May I know more?
