Apple also sells lots of peripherals and accessories, plus lots of software. Classes are also held. In the big flagship stores they take good advantage of the extra space.

The stairs appear to be on the side (left). I remember when it was Mens. Not too big a space for what they term a flagship.

There are very few flagship stores that aren't relatively big.

The stairs are actually at the very rear. If you like white and glass minimalism, it's one helluva store.

That's too bad about Pages. If Pages does move, it will probably be better off than the neighbourhood. I bet it will do a lot better further down on Queen (either further east or west). That part of Queen Street, where Pages is currently located, has pretty much lost all it's appeal. After all, CTV is now there.

The Eaton Centre Apple Store will reopen on November 22nd, so line up for your free t-shirts!
And CTV is like a virus on that block right now. It bought the building next to the old Much Store and turned the ground level retail unit (!) into cubicle offices of young-media kids slouched in their chairs working. It also bought the building at the corner of Duncan and Richmond (northwest corner). Only 2 buildings remain that aren't part of the CTV empire.

What's happening to the old Chum building btw?
There was some condo proposal from what I recall but that was a ways away. Why did they move so soon, did someone purchase the site?

...and is there an Apple store going in the base of it?

Apple hasn't looked at any site on Queen St, not to mention the old CityTV building....they are serious about Bloor St W though.

Bauhaus - I believe Taal is talking about the CHUM Radio building on Yonge near Summerhill, which has been sold to a developer. The CHUM Radio sign will be moved to the new building CTV purchased at the NW corner of Richmond and Duncan that will house the radio stations.

Ah CHUM on Yonge St thanks for clarifying....well then Yonge & St. Calir isn't on the radar screen, whereas Yonge & Eglinton is...RioCan has plans to redevelop the NW corner, in turn bringing the existing building closer to both streets.

Yonge and Eglinton seems like a good location as does Yonge and Bloor.
