Since last year the Netherlands has been infested with Apple Centres. About 18 Apple retail shops have opened with a layout similar to the Apple Stores all over the U.S. They are located mostly in the big cities, with Amsterdam and Rotterdam having three or four stores.

Last week all 18 Centres were notified that they have to change their names to ‘Apple Premium Reseller’ for legal reasons. Doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue, does it?
