“Apple will officially announce the opening of the Grand Central Apple store this Tuesday and presumably pull the black boards to reveal the announcement,” 9to5Mac reports. “This store garners extra special attention because it will be Apple’s largest in the world by square footage and resides in a building where 750,000 people pass daily and over 1,000,000 people during the holidays.”
“The Grand Central Apple Store will have little over 300 employees, which are currently training in other local NY Apple stores,” 9to5Mac reports. “From what we have now heard, Apple will be filling the store with stock and applying the finishing touches this week putting the the actual opening of the store on Black Friday or shortly thereafter.”
