I'd have to echo Deborah Shadovitz's experience. Before the store
opened, we
were contacted by the manager and we started making plans together:
mutual
meetings, training classes, their staff coming to our meetings. After
the
store opened, things radically changed. No participation in classes.
Meetings at the store really were hard to do due to lack of seating.
And the
latest was that their policy was that they could not attend user group
meetings.
Has it had any effect on membership, I've not seen any evidence one
way or
the other. To my knowledge, if a customer asks about user groups, they
are
referred to the user group locator.
On the positive side, I think that any public retail Apple presence is
good
for user groups.

This message is primarily directed to User group leaders in
communities in which you have an Apple store.
What impact,if any, has the presence an Apple Store had on your
membership and /or meeting attendance.
Has your membership grown? dropped? Has you meeting attendance
grown? shrunk?
We saw the presentation and class schedule for our new Chicago Mac
store and at least one of my board members was quite upset, believing
the Apple store classes will cost us members.
What has been your experience?
Barbara
