It’s been a crazy week around the Simply Mac office. This week we are getting the final touches on our new St. George store that is opening next Monday. The staff here are all on their A game, and now that we’ve opened a few stores, we are getting it down to a science. I’ve got to say, it’s pretty cool to see everyone around the office knowing their roles and working like a well-oiled machine.

Yesterday we spent the day in our corporate offices hosting a small business workshop that was put on by Apple’s Small Business training team. We had the opportunity to spend the day with other local representatives from Expercom, Mac Docs, Pictureline, and even another Apple reseller from Northwest Data Systems who made the trek all the way from Steamboat Springs, Colorado to attend the training. It was great to have a community of competing specialists together in one room working towards one goal, which ultimately was to learn how to better support you, our customers. Apple did a great job of helping break the ice between the specialists, and I think we all learned a bit about each other and our businesses. We really do have a great community of local businesses to support your Apple needs.

Today and tomorrow most of us will be on our way to St. George for final preparations. Steve, our President, will be hanging back to spend time with John Brandon from Apple on Friday. John is a senior VP at Apple and manages all of the channel sales divisions, including the resellers, specialists, Value Added Resellers, and national retailers across North America and Asia. It’s a great honor to have John take the time out of his busy schedule to stop in Utah to tour our stores.

If you are in St. George any time after Monday, stop by our store. We will be hosting another huge grand opening event on Saturday, August 28th at 10 am. Click here for details on the big day and look for a link soon where you can enter to win one of the many prizes we will be giving away including MacBooks, iPods and tons more!
