Apple to Open Flagship Store in Montreal

According to numerous reports circulating the web (here, here, and here [en français]), the flagship Canadian Apple Store will open in Montreal this coming Friday, July 25 at 5:00PM.

It is located at 1321 Ste-Catherine Ouest, near by to upscale Ogilvy's.

There are some blocks on Ste-Catherine street, the primary shopping street in downtown Montreal, that are in need of serious transformation and revitalization (I hesitate to use the word gentrification), and I hope the Apple Store will do just that to the neighborhood.
