Apple
users in the Bronx may no longer have to travel outside of the borough for the
latest iPhone.
Marlene
Cintron with Bronx Overall Economic Development Corporation says developers in
the Bronx are in talks with Apple regarding a potential store in the borough.
Cintron
says Bay Plaza Mall in Co-op City is one of the locations being scouted for the
potential store.
She
says her group has been looking to get an Apple Store to open in the Bronx for
years
“It’s
an opportunity for additional jobs in the Bronx as well as much-needed services
for so many,” Cintron says. “Apple users here in the city of New York most of
the time have to go all the way down to 42nd Street.”
