How often I have been shopping with a female and I went into brookstone to "look around" while they shopped...and often come out with some neat thing with me (actually still mad I didn't but one other thing last time I was in a brookstone in December...keep saying next time I see a brookstone I am going to look for it again).

Brookstone only somewhat recently exited bankruptcy. They're hardly a grand model of success.

Okay, okay, Brookstone hasn't fared well, but not because of that concept. They had other issues such as bad management decisions and more that led to their bankruptcy. And LOL, I would certainly not call it a 90s store. It was a 90s store at one point... in the 1990s. Now it's 2016 and it is a 2016 store. They sell modern, quality stuff... I can't help but wonder when the last time many of you have been to a Brookstone is. Now that they're in good hands, they are doing better and slowly recovering. By the way, the company that owns them now also operates Spirit halloween stores, which have lawn and house decorations all over the stores that react when people walk in front of them or press a button. And Spirit stores are very successful.

Brookstone, for the last few years, was like the Cleveland Browns of retail. They wouldn't let one guy stay as CEO for long enough to take the company in any real direction. Different leaders have different ideas, but when one guy starts something and a new guy changes the plan every year, nothing but a mess comes from it. Only difference is I like Brookstone and I think the Browns are just totally lame.

Apple Stores, on the other hand, have employed this concept very very well, and they would probably be the prime example of it. This concept of letting people try things, of being a real-world advertisement... not only increases the urge to buy the product, but it's a huge reason why stores still exist rather than all move to online. The rent they pay for that physical location is worth the benefits, especially for a place like Apple.

Oh, and I found this tidbit on wikipedia, though there is no source to back up the part about it being the biggest. So does anyone know if that true or not? I certainly do think a big store is needed, but Apple likes to hype things up just like their cousin company, so I think we'd have heard by now if they were actually planning their biggest store for DS.
"Apple is reported to be working with Walt Disney World to create the world's largest Apple Store as part of the large scale development of their Downtown Disney retail, dining and entertainment area that will eventually be completed in 2016 under the name of Disney Springs.[31]"

The source for that tidbit is Screamscape according to the Wikipedia citation. I think that says all you need to know. :)

Supposedly the largest Apple store is the one in London which is 40,000 sq ft. So unless the DS Apple store is going to replace Planet Hollywood or World of Disney it's not going to come anywhere near that size.

I don't know if you are a reliable enough source for that information.

It's purely a hunch on my end. Last time I was at the Springs, there were some pretty substantial visual clues that led me to believe it would be World of Disney. I think E08 might be Starbucks as well. But, don't take my word for it. Wait for some awesome photos from @WDWtraveler.

I don't know if this has been mentioned or not but Art Smith's Homecoming will be spot B10 on the map. They've just started vertical construction this week.

I would speculate that B09,B10, & B14 (all on the springs) would be D-Luxe Burger, Tablis Frontera, and Honecoming, not in any o

if that's true, that would put D-Luxe Burger back in B09, and possibly B14 for Tablis Frontera. ( all three sites on the Springs)

B14 is Tablas Frontera. The D-Luxe Burger appears to share a building with another location,
