Apple has allegedly begun work on its upcoming retail store in Grand Central Station. The world-renowned terminal in New York City’s Manhattan area serves 700,000 commuters daily.
According to MacRumors, Apple is expected to operate under a “very tight construction timetable” in order to get the new store ready for Black Friday.
A reader submitted photos to MacRumors of construction work beginning in the space that formerly belonged to the Metrazur restaurant. “Preparatory” work has begun on Apple’s new store, and when completed, “Apple Store, Grand Central” will be the company’s largest retail location in the world.
Separately, renderings of the upcoming retail space have also been published.
MacRumors predicts that the new store will open on November 12th. We’re excited for the doors to open! How about you?
