No apples stores back then. Those didn't come until just a few years ago. In 1984, there were local independent dealers who carried Apple, IBM, and some other brands. It was actually the same store I bought my Apple ][+ at a few years earlier. When I bought that, they were still selling computers that had no keyboard or display.
