Apple Store opening soon in Brooklyn?

Exclusive November 4, 2010

This isn’t the first time rumors of a Brooklyn Apple Store have surfaced, but it is without question the first time they’ve come right from the horse’s mouth. BGR has learned that Apple is currently seeking Apple Solutions Consultants in Brooklyn, NY. Apple’s job listing clearly calls for candidates who would work at a retail sales location, and it is currently the only job listing found when Brooklyn is specified as the search location. While further details are scarce for the time being, we could be getting fairly close to a grand opening if Apple is already looking for a sales team.

Thanks, Scott!

    They should have opened an Apple Headquarters there instead.

    I love how Apple opening a store is considered news. You can tell how Apple-minded this site is when they’re reporting that Apple is opening a store.

    Hey, Zach, is there a new Target anywhere in the United States opening up soon?

      It is news when is the retailer that sell the most $ for sq ft. The 5th ave store sell $35,000.00 annually per sq ft. By comparison, Tiffany sell $18,000.00 per sq ft. Want to know where Target is in the list???

    An Apple store in Brooklyn? Who cares? When did Brooklyn become this super cool place? I lived there for 34 years and it was always the place for out of towners to live that couldn’t afford Manhattan.

    Brooklyn is hipster central, how there isn’t an Apple Store there already boggles my mind…

      Agreed. Thousands of hipsters will now dress up on the weekend for a visit to their newly built place of worship.

        really?

        I lived on Ocean Parkway from when I was born in 1966 till 1988. Then moved to Prospect Ave and lived there till 2000.

        Last time I was over at Atlantic Yards (which is what the area you’re referring to is called) it was a dump. Drive up Atlantic Ave a few miles and see how you like it, that area was even worse.

        Brooklyn is a great place to be “from”, you couldn’t pay me to live there now.

    I kinda wish that there was an Apple store closer than an hour. I wouldn’t mind working there.

    Might be a store, but most likely the new iAd teams’s offices.

  • Peter

    Don’t get too excited. Apple solutions consultants are the guys who work at those store-in-a-store places in big department stores or big box retailers. That isn’t a position in actual apple stores.

    We need a DROID store there, not a crApple store.

      there are droid stores…its called verizon.

    You should ost every time any store ever opens. It makes great news.
    “This just in… A New Taco Bell is opening in Tempe, AZ. There has been speculation but no one thought it would actually happen. They even are hiring! Tacos for all”

  • sirpaul

    How exactly could a grand opening be soon? Don’t you think people would have noticed an Apple store being setup or built? It’s kind of hard to not notice a whole building with a huge Apple logo on it…

      you’ve obviously never been to Brooklyn

        You are being absurd — and I live in NYC. The NY Post has articles the moment they catch a whiff of a new Apple Store being built — Apple can’t do anonymously — they need a truckload of permits.

        Do you know how long it took people to realize they were building a stadium on Atlantic.. It’s very possible for them to build without the public knowing. The industrial areas (Red Hook) of Brooklyn are places to hide stores as well.

    This means they looking for someone to work at a retail store (best buy, target) in brooklyn. You find those guys teaching customers about macs products. #fail

    Why is there even a question mark in the post title? Isn’t that photo confirmation enough? :-P

    OMG, a new Apple store! I can hardly contain myself. I think I’ll camp out and hope Stevie shows up so that I can kiss his feet.

    How is this tech news? Are we going to get an article about every Apple store opening? If Apple opens a store in Albany, or Poughkeepsie, or Pittsburgh, is BGR going to cover that too?

    I live in Brooklyn …I wonder where they plan to put it? Atlantic/Pacific (on Flatbush) would make sense. Certainly there are plenty of hipsters and yuppies around here that will make this a popular store.

  • noworrieswho i am

    i wonder where hmmmm. i already know down to the door where it is. me and my wife walked pass it about 3 weeks ago. surprised its just now going public.
