Apple Computer will open its second retail store in Japan later this year. The flagship store in Osaka will join Apple's premier flagship store in Tokyo, but company documents recently shown to AppleInsider reveal that the company is currently scouting over two dozen retail locations in the country.
As part of its overseas retail initiative, Apple has maintained a Japan retail 'Hit List,' which currently references up to 27 prospective or secured storefronts, including 6 more in Tokyo and 2 others in Osaka. Each is assigned a deployment priority ranking, which coincides with surrounding district population figures also present in the documents.
