Apple to open biggest store in Covent Garden
The new Covent Garden Apple store, the company's 300th outlet, will be the biggest in the world when it opens tomorrow.


A shiny new Apple store will be opening its doors at 10am tomorrow in Covent Garden and will become the biggest of its kind.
Early birds will be able to pick up a free Apple t-shirt before getting giddy over the 56 Macs, 30 iPads, 40 iPods and 30 iPhones, which will all be on show.
Workshops and presentations will be held daily at the site in the central courtyard, while a Start-Up Room will help people get going with their new Apple devices.
There will also be a Community Room for some real in-depth training and the standard Genius Bar for free technical support.
The store, which is the 300th Apple outlet, will employ 300 workers. How's that for uniformity?
