Apple is on track to launch another flagship retail store in Grand Central Station, New York. This store location has been rumored to be in the works for the past year, and Apple could see approval to begin construction as soon as next week.

Apple’s last earnings call echoed the company’s desire for aggressive retail expansion, and this upcoming Grand Central Station store will most likely prove to be a very profitable business venture.

The new store will simply be called, “Apple Store, Grand Central,” and it is set to be Apple’s largest retail store in the world. Prior to construction, London’s Convent Garden Apple store holds the title as Apple’s largest retail location.

The New York Times reports,

“When Apple proposed opening a store on the balcony overlooking the main hall, it submitted its bid in linen-lined boxes, as if it were a wedding present to transit officials, a source familiar with the application process said. The board is expected to approve the deal as early as next week, at its monthly board meeting.”

“Apple Store, Grand Central” will allow the 700,000 customers that pass through the terminal each day access to Apple’s products and customer support.

As if Apple didn’t already have enough money in the bank.
