Among the many new Apple retail locations scheduled to open during the holiday season, one of the most anticipated is the flagship store in New York’s Grand Central Station.

There are already Apple Stores in many iconic neighborhoods in New York, including the SoHo store that is currently undergoing renovation and the Fifth Ave. store that was recently unveiled with a new "seamless" glass cube entryway.
The technology website suggested Grand Central Station is still a prime location for another Apple store as the traffic from New York locals as well as tourists should make the store highly successful, especially during the upcoming holiday season.
Apple's new "commuter-friendly" Apple Store application is expected to make shopping easier for the hundreds of thousands of people who pass through Grand Central Station daily.
Once the Grand Central location opens, there will be five Apples Stores in New York City. Industry insiders expect that the Grand Central Station Apple Store will be the largest of the 300 locations worldwide.
Currently, the largest location is the Covent Garden Apple Store in London.
