Apple Buying Brooklyn Salvation Army Building for Retail Store?

Rumors about Apple expanding its retail presence in New York have been around for a while now. Specifically Brooklyn has been targeted as the next location. New information leads many to believe that a Salvation Army building in Brooklyn has already been purchased by Apple, and will be turned into a retail shop.

The gothamist is reporting (via unconfirmed sources) that “Apple has purchased the building that currently houses the Salvation Army located at 176 Bedford Avenue (on the corner of Bedford and North 7th) in Williamsburg.”

Currently, the building is not vacant, and is up for lease, but still occupied by the Salvation Army. However, earlier rumors suggested that the building could become a McDonald’s restaurant, so the church may be looking to sell. “Apple is thought by many to have an interest in a Brooklyn store, but has not confirmed any site or even a desire to expand. Locations rumored in the past have included 345 Adams Street, amidst upper-class stores and restaurants, and a front in The Edge on Kent Avenue. If launched, a Brooklyn store would mark Apple’s fifth store inside of New York City, the highest concentration of Apple Stores anywhere,” Macnn explains.
