The Mac Store, which strictly sells and services Apple computers and the company's others products, will open a store at Westfield Capital mall next month. The store is set to open Sept. 17, across from Victoria's Secret, said Erick Laabs, vice president of Computer Stores Northwest, the Lake Oswego, Ore.-based business that operates The Mac Store.
The new Olympia store will be the company's 10th location; the next closest location is in Kent. Best Buy also sells Apple products and there is a corporate Apple store in Tacoma, but Laabs still thinks there is plenty of pent up demand for Apple products in the Olympia area.
"I would imagine that there is a huge market that is traveling (to Tacoma) or shopping online because it lacks exposure to Apple," he said.
