First picture of the Greensboro, NC Apple Store under construction

North Carolinians can start to polish up their credit cards, as the long-awaited Greensboro Apple Store (to be located at The Shops at Friendly Center, a heck of a nice place to spend your money) is now underway. The Iconfactory’s Ged Maheux was kind suitable to send us that parking-lot snapshot of the site — looks like a big one.

ifoAppleStore had a midsummer target for the Greensboro store to open, which seems optimistic bordering on impossible at that point. A commenter on Ged’s blog

hinted that the delay in construction may have been the aftermath of a proximity dispute; Apple is a bit picky about which stores can cohabit with the glass wonderlands, and now that the neighborhood is up to snuff the project is underway.

By the way, whether you’ve ever wondered what the offices (and the denizens) of the Iconfactory really look like, you can catch a glimpse via this local news report on the company.
