So far, PopXpress stores like this one in London’s Piccadilly Circus are located in high-profile urban settings.

Apple Computer’s iPod advertisement sits on top of PopXpress’ first store off London’s Liverpool Street. Apple helped contribute to the design of the shops, said PopExpress CEO Jonathan Cole.

In response to demand from customers who wanted to touch iPod accessories, online Apple retailer, Think Different Store opened this 3,000-square-foot store last September. It’s located on Long Island in Selden, New York. The mail-order warehouse is in the back.
