According to an article in the Portland Press Herald today Apple is looking for staff for a new store in the Maine Mall in South Portland. This is exciting news for Mainers, as the closest Apple store at the moment is in Salem N.H. With the Maine Learning Technology Initiative heavily dependent on Apple products (every seventh and eighth grade public school student gets their own Apple laptop), the store should receive quite a bit of business.
Although recruiting has just begun the Apple store is expected to open in November 2008.
