Appe's new mid-town New York City store will be on 59th and Madison in the General Motors building. Staying true to the city that never sleeps, it will be the first store open 24/7.
Apple's upcoming midtown Manhattan retail store will mark a first for the company as sources report the location will be open 24 hours a day. The store, located in the underground retail plaza of the General Motors Building on Fifth Avenue between 58th and 59th Street will also be among the first stores to offer customers an iPod Bar. The 25,000-square-foot store will dwarf Apple's SoHo location and will be capped by a 32-foot glass cube that will stand in front of the building and house the stairs and elevators that will take customers underground to the Apple retail store. Sources report that construction of the store is on track to be completed in April, with the store expected to open by the end of May.
