Outside of major countries, you will not, for the time being, find any Apple stores (Stores?), unfortunately.

Instead, you get certified premium sellers or something nebulous to that extent whose only relation to Apple is that they sell Apple products; they are basically normal retail stores with some kind of accreditation from Apple, whatever that entails.

I assume Apple will expand globally eventually, but the niceties of the Apple store are a privilege, not a guarantee. :)
