Reply to comment by BuySignificant522 in Uniqlo is coming to the Newport mall - Apple should come as well by coliji

Seems like a huge AP risk that isn’t worth it.

Majority are conditioned to already take the commute into the city and make their purchases there.

There is also an Apple Store in WTC. I think it would actually take me more time to go to the mall then to just go to WTC. Though sales tax is lower in NJ which on Apple is not inconsequential.

They opened an Apple Store at American Dream, which honestly kills the prospect of an Apple Store opening anywhere closer in Hudson County. Close enough from a driving perspective that they'll figure that people in Jersey City/Hoboken are probably either going to go to American Dream or WTC. Better to just have the mini-shop in Best Buy, really.

AP risk?

Assets protection.

Basically would it be a high theft area / location.
