Does Apple allow Franchise Apple stores? (Barbados, West Indies)
I have a question.
Does Apple allow persons to work with them to open a store as a Franchise?
In the former British West Indies region we could really use an Apple store, especially here in Barbados. (I know Apple does not like the unlocked iPhones) but they were selling like hotcakes after people were able to got them working on our Digicel or bMobile carriers.
Anyway, Microsoft has started to become very chummy with the Barbados Government and I feel the time could be right for some competition in this right. Microsoft has since announced the Caribbean as a whole is a very profitable region for them and Paul Allen has even brought his yacht the "Octopus" down here a few times.
The Barbados Government has a computers programme for school age children it is completely Microsoft geared currently but again I think there could be stand to be at least some Apple machines.
The Barbados government programme is called Edutech 2000.

The capital city Bridgetown would probably be the best spot on the island. Among schools colleges and universities include the Barbados campus of the University of the West Indies ( http://cavehill.uwi.edu/ ), the Barbados Community College ( http://www.bcc.edu.bb/) + The Samuel Jackson Prescod Polytechnic ( http://www.sjpp.edu.bb/ )
