With six Apple Stores already in Canada, Montrealers have been asking "where's ours?" (or possibly "où est nôtres?"). Mac enthusiasts will now have a chance to celebrate, as a new Apple Store opens its doors. The flagship store will be located at 1321 Sainte-Catherine Street and will offer Montreal residents a chance to overpay for iPhones. The store officially opens its doors at 5:00 PM Friday evening and will offer the first 1000 visitors free Apple T-Shirts (and themselves free corporate branding). Abandoning the trademark stainless steel, Apple is trying something new with the design of this store, opting instead for stone and glass. Mac-heads have a new haven in Montreal. Score one for Steve Jobs.
