Grand opening of Apple’s Massive Grand Central retail store draws big crowd
Apple’s largest Store in the word has opened on Friday Dec 9 2011 at New York. It is an incredible inside New York’s city’s landmark Grand Central Terminal hundreds have queued up. The Fortune’s Philip Elmer-De Witt snapped up the above shpt showing staffers on the balconies above Grand Central Terminal and hundreds of fans stretching all the way down one track and part-way back.
The company will treat avid fans to cool perks, such as 4,000 black shirts with “Apple Store, Grand Central” spelled out in lettering, resembling a train arrival board. The Mac maker also posted the below press shot on its PR site. A dedicated page for the 23,000-square foot store on Apple’s web site reveals the store work hours Monday through Friday 7 am to 9 pm, 10 am to 7 pm on Saturdays and on Sundays from 11 am to 6 pm. Here’s a glimpse of the excitement.
The store’s extended holiday hours plus another video are right after the break. Our own Seth Weintraub is on hand so stay tuned for more updates, coming soon.
