Apple promotes Grand Central store opening this week


Friday, Apple announced it will open its new store within Grand Central Terminal in New York City. The store features two Genius Bars and dedicated areas for Personal Setup service. The store employs 315 employees. Apple has been known to make pretty unique flagship stores, but this looks to be one of the more interesting sites.

Convenient services at the Apple Store Grand Central include Personal Pickup, a feature of the free Apple Store App which lets iPhone® users shop and buy from anywhere they are, then pick up their purchase when they reach the terminal. Customers using the Apple Store App can even scan and pay for accessories with their iPhone using the new EasyPay function. And new 15-minute Express Workshops offer tips and tricks in a streamlined format to serve customers on a tight schedule.


The store is set to open Friday December 9th. It is the company's 361st retail store world-wide. Picture below by Kim Bhasin for Business Insider
