Apple’s existing six stores are located in Manhattan and the seventh is in Staten Island.
The new store will employ over 130 associates, who will speak 24 languages apart from English.
Apple Retail market director Jason Barlia said that the company is focusing on reflecting the community’s diversity with its staff, in order to make the new store stand out among other Apple stores.
The store is opening just in time for Apple’s new Apple Camp for children where kids will be able to interact with books and illustrations, make movies and create music with Apple software.
