A new kind of Apple Store is opening on Saturday.

Across the street from the iconic San Francisco store, Apple is opening a new flagship aimed at being more than just a store. The trademark 42-foot glass doors will open to a kind of Apple-designed public forum, with a conference room, advice for small businesses, concerts, and a layout that blurs the line between inside and outside.

"This is not just a store," Angela Ahrendts, Apple's senior vice president of retail and online stores, said in a Thursday press release. "We want people to say, 'Hey, meet me at Apple.... Did you see what's going on at Apple?"

Apple is not the first business to engaged in an aesthetic revamp for physical store locations. More and more large companies have taken a designer's eye to rebuilding or in some cases building stores to for greater aesthetics, layout, and convenience.

What would you do if you had $100 billion in cash sitting in the bank?

    I'd spend it on hookers and blow of course, just like our friends in Cupertino.

    Wouldn't a person with such resources not spend it on the realization of the tasp [wikia.com]?
