The Mapple Store is a chain of retail stores owned and operated by Mapple.
Description[]
The stores sell Mapple's products and services, including MyPods, MyPhones, MyCubes, MyPhonies, MyTunes and the most desirable computer in the world, the Mapple Void. The stores also have a Brainiac Bar for in-store technical support for Mapple products and services.
Mapple Stores can be found in a wide variety of locations, including Springfield Mall. The store in Springfield Mall is cube-shaped and features blue walls that are made up of video projection screens, which can project many small images or be combined to make one large image (as when Steve Mobbs makes a company-wide announcement, for example). The Springfield store was partially destroyed by Comic Book Guy after a prank by Bart made everyone believe thought Steve Mobbs thought all of his customers were nerds.
