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,".

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.

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.

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
