New Apple Store Coming Soon on Long Island

Apple today announced that its store at Roosevelt Field in Garden City, New York will be reopening "soon," following extensive renovations.

The store has been closed since November, with Apple operating out of a temporary location on the west side of the shopping mall until the renovations are completed. Apple has yet to share an exact date for the grand re-opening.

Roosevelt Field is the largest mall on Long Island. Apple first opened its store there in 2002, months after the original iPod launched. When the store reopens, it will feature a modern design with more wood, as Apple has moved away from stainless steel walls. Many of its newer stores also offer an Apple Pickup station for online orders.

Elsewhere in the U.S., Apple is working on a few other store projects. Apple The Galleria in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Apple Baybrook, outside of Houston, Texas, remain under renovation, and we are still waiting on a grand opening date for the all-new Apple Downtown Detroit store that the company teased back in February.

Yesss! This is the BEST, MOST INCREDIBLE Apple Store Roosevelt Field that Apple has ever operated. This is truly a gift to Apple's customers because Apple loves their customers!

I remember working at this store when they renovated in 2002. My first day on the job was Black Friday. Even after that initial renovation, it didn’t feel large enough to handle the foot traffic. The Manhasset location is quite nice.

Visited this store many times.

My wish would be an external entrance so I don't have to weave through the main mall before getting to the Apple store.

I have no idea whether they kept the same space, which wouldn't allow that, or not.

That store tends to be a nightmare for space. Hopefully they got a better space.

Compare that to the Apple Walt Whitman store further East. It's a bit smaller but half as crowded most of the time.
This! I'm in this mall all too often with my kids and it is just too crowded, and now overrun by everyone bringing their dogs.. I would love a direct entrance to the store, much like Dicks, or the larger anchor department stores.
