Great, another Apple Store to lure me into buying more iGoods on my commute :D
The New York Observer is reporting that Apple is considering putting an Apple Store inside the iconic New York Grand Central Terminal.
The process, unfortunately, isn’t a straightforward one:
The main concourse, shown below, would seem to offer the up-scale type of setting that Apple is after and the stores within its corridors are already filled with commuter foot traffic. Need a new iPhone headset for the train ride home? Booya!
The riddle remains: Where can you put a phalanx of high-tech gadgets and hundreds of techies and tourists alike in historic Grand Central? Banana Republic and Kenneth Cole, which have stores fronting 42nd Street, have leases expiring, according to one broker, but the store is not expected to take those spaces. Instead, it sounds like the company plans to put its high-tech shrine right in the terminal.
