First Retail Apple Store by Steve Jobs at Tysons Corner
Are you curious how was it look like for Apple's first retail store?
Are you eager to see Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO walking you through that very first store?
Not many IT companies open their stores profitably back then. With DELL introducing ordering online, all computer manufacturer giants were send scrambling for an online present but at not much success. While everyone was shunning at the idea of having a physical store, Apple went against the norm by introducing their "Apple Store".
Here you shall see the nostalgic video of Steve Jobs introducing Apple's first retail store which was due to open in another 6 days back in 2001!

The Apple store design has resulted from the contributions of firms such as Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, Eckersley O’Callaghan, Eight Inc., Gensler, and ISP Design, Inc., together with Apple's in-house design team. The first two Apple Stores opened on May 19 in Tysons Corner and later the same day in Glendale, California at Glendale Galleria.[3] The first Apple Store with the current layout and hardware (wood tables and stone flooring) opened in Pasadena, California. Apple opened its 200th store on October 26, 2007 in Gilbert, Arizona, 2,251 days after opening its Tysons Corner store. As of February 2011, Apple had opened over 300 stores worldwide.
