Apple Inc. has announced it is has finally opened stores in twelve eastern European Union countries this month. For the first time, these countries will be able to purchase music from Apple just eight and half years after it first opened for business. Many lower level managers within the corporation are questioning as to why it took so long and why the new stores were not advertised. These new iTunes and iBookstores still lack a significant amount of product and many store managers are asking new customers to keep checking back.
