Seems like an acqui-hire to me.

Yeah, maybe they are opening up a shop in Vancouver.

Apple already has a shop in Vancouver

Vancouver BC or Washington? Cause they have a team in Vancouver Washington working on things like Pages.

Seems like a huge waste of money to put software engineers in an Apple store.

Given that Apple Stores average about $5000/sq ft in revenue, it would be big waste to have that space taken up by software engineers.

You can purchases strata title triple A class office space in Vancouver for less than that.

If you mean an office, there is already an engineering office here in Vancouver, BC. (As others have posted, there is also a few retail stores)
