Large, not huge. Lenox is about 12,000 square feet. Apple in Greenville is 6,500 square feet. That means that the store is 3,000 square feet, that's not very huge.

Not trying to be rude but how do you know how large these stores are? Do you have the blueprints lying around somewhere? Below is a picture I took of the Lenox store last year followed by a picture I took of the Greenville store a few days ago. The amount of lighting in the ceiling, the size of the genius bar, and the number of tables length/width wise is the exact same at both stores. The Lenox store might be a little wider but over-all the two stores are around the same size in my opinion:

I had only been to the original Lennox Square store, and it was tiny, like Charlotte's.

I agree. Our store seems to be bigger. Having said that, it really doesn't matter. We have our own store and that is all that matters to me. I now don't care how big or small the other stores are. I do care about others that say they know the exact square footage of these stores. Prove it.

At least we can all agree that this is a "real" Apple store, as opposed to our "fake" IMAX.  

And gsupstate, I would take a bullet for Apple also.  My iPod has changed my life, and I have iHome in my living room and bedroom.

It was definitely a lot bigger than in your picture. it is about as wide as the Greenville store but almost twice as long. And I went in March, so. Also, I know how big the Abercrombie & Fitch store next door is, and it's not very big. It is larger than the Apple store, too.

I also went to the Lenox store when it was packed. When I went to SouthPark it looked significantly smaller.

I can't believe we are actually comparing to see who has the biggest Apple.

From what I have read, today was the first time there has not been a wait to get into the store.

There wasn't a line yesterday when I went to the store. It was very crowded though.

I went to the store today (Saturday).  There were a good bit of people in there but there were plenty of products to try out and it wasn't very hard to get around.  It is a very nice store... even as a Windows guy, I thought their stuff was very nice.
