ifoAppleStore reports that Apple’s third retail store will be located at “21 W. 34th Street [in] a five-story building directly across the street from the Empire State Building, and near Macy’s and Madison Square Garden.”
“#21 totals about 20,000 square feet, with 4,400 s.f. on the ground floor. The existing Fifth Avenue Apple store is just over a mile to the north, and the SoHo store is about two miles south,” ifoAppleStore reports.

In sort-of related news, the sign is up at the Albuquerque Uptown Store. I saw them getting ready to put it up last Friday afternoon and it was in place on Saturday, although the face of the building wasn’t finished yet at that time. The front glass was hidden behind a plywood fence but I could see through some cracks and there wasn’t anything in the store yet as of last Saturday evening. I don’t know if they’re gonna make November 3ish.
I can’t imagine Jobs wanting to open an Apple store there, it’s a pretty ugly and grungy area.
Please, for the love of all that is good, Mr. Job,
Put an Apple Store in Vancouver BC, Canada!
Actually, Mr. Jobs, don’t. I work for a Mac reseller.
It would be nice to see an Apple Store in Melbourne or Sydney, Australia

Grungy? 34th St., between 5th and 6th? Have you been in the area in the last, say, 15 years?
This works for commuters like me for whom Soho is too far south and Central Park too far north and east. This is perfect.
They need more international stores…seriously
I second that Mac4ever! European sales would boom if Apple opened a good dozen or two more stores over there.
