Boston, Massachusettes is home to the largest Apple store in the United States - Second largest in the world: The store on London's Regent Street is 28,000 square feet.
The store has three stories connected by a glass spiral staircase. Computers are on the first floor; iPods, iPhones and accessories on the second; and the troubleshooting Genius Bar on the third floor. The Genius Bar is large enough to handle up to 1,000 queries a day, Apple says.
The store has some Green touches - Signature skylights for Steve Jobs, a fan of natural light. The rooftop also features a small garden covered in grass.
The building collects and filters rainwater, which is fed into Boston's Back Bay water table.
"We're highly confident that we've built a store here that is going to have a great [positive] environmental impact,".

I love the Apple stores, great user experience. Although I do feel a bit bad for my brother's first experience in one.
He tried a genius bar computer mistaking it for a demo one and the genius there acknowledged his mistake. He was embarrassed a bit, and I still feel for him. :p-

Even though the Genius Bar is the whole third floor they probably still only have three people staffed at a time. Every time I visit my local Apple Store there are more sales people than customers and only two people staffed at the Genius Bar.

Sweet, it won't be crammed. My local Apple Store was really crammed last time I went. The lines went around the sides of the store to pay. There were a few people in line waiting to use a Mac to just use it. And like tinman13 said, there were only 2-3 people at the Genius Bar.
