If you live in the Queens area of New York you can welcome your very own Apple Store this Saturday — when the latest brick-and-mortar retail store opens at the Queens Center mall.

The store itself is set to be one of the largest mall-located Apple Stores in New York.

Set to be the most racially-diverse Apple Store yet, the Queens store reportedly has 130 staff members speaking a total of 25 languages, including English. Two-thirds of staffers will be fully bilingual.

“We are really excited to bring our eighth store in NYC to Queens,” Apple Retail market direction Jason Barlia told the Daily News. “When we saw this location it made a lot of sense.”

The store will open 10am on Saturday. As usual, the first 1,000 customers through the door will receive a free black Apple T-shirt with the store’s location.

Last month, Apple opened its gorgeous Upper East Side Apple Store, also in New York. Apple Stores are reportedly set to receive a “premium” makeover this month — bringing a bit more of the upmarket Apple Watch luxury feel to the company’s often-imitated, rarely-duplicated shopping experience.
