Apple Store opened today in Lexington Ky at Fayette Mall.

I didn't get there until after 7 PM and it was still very busy.

1. They SURE DO all look the same, don't they?

2. Oh sure. A consistent design simplifies management

and cuts costs. I'm sure the design has been fully tested.

So far the design is working and has become a template for other retail establishments. Computer Plus is trying the same formula.

The store had nearly 1,000 customers in two hours. By the time I got there, they were out of many items.

3. It is also brand creation and brand identity.

FYI the Microsoft store looks almost the same too.

4. Microsoft would never copy anything Apple Does.
