@turbineseaplane this is for you for all that new gear you're planning to get in September :p :eek:
I’m mainly hoping they aren’t closing the existing one at the mall.

The Villages is a place I detest. 😞

bizarre to me that they’re building in Idaho, yet there’s not a single store in the entire nation of Portugal

I think the Apple store is the ONLY thing keeping the Boise mall alive...


Free potato with every iPhone purchase!
Who says Idahohans get to enjoy Idaho potatoes? I think most of ours come from Washington lol



Yea, I'm really surprised about the Meridian location. Haven't been to Meridian but I believe that's where Scentysy HQ is.
Yep, I used to work right next to Scentsy and the Village is right down the road from there. It makes total sense to put it in Meridian though. That entire area is EXPLODING with new development and having an Apple store move in only makes the Village that much more "attractive".



Here we refer to Meridian/Eagle (the folks who go to Villages) "Huntington Beach North"
Can confirm.

You might get an "East Idaho" wallpaper and consider yourself blessed by Apple.

It really is amazing in there.
Such a weird weird mall with what's "left" in there now.
The population is increasing in the valley so attendance at the mall is decent.
