Apple will soon be opening revamped retail stores near Garden City, New York and Fairfax, Virginia, according to notices posted on its website.

Apple is opening a temporary store at Roosevelt Field, the largest shopping mall on Long Island, so it can renovate its existing store in the mall. The temporary store will be located in the west side of the mall, on the main level, but we have not confirmed if it is open yet. It is unclear when the renovated store will be completed, or what it will look like. Apple's retail design varies from store to store, but one modern element often included in newer spaces is an Apple Pickup station for in-store pickup of online orders.

Apple opened its Roosevelt Field location in 2002, months after the original iPod launched, and the company now operates 23 stores across New York state.

Over in Virginia, Apple is leaving the Fair Oaks shopping mall in Fairfax County, but is not moving very far away. Apple's website invites customers in the area to visit its new location "soon" at 4221 Fairfax Corner East Avenue, in the Fairfax Corner shopping plaza that is just across the Interstate 66 from the Fair Oaks mall. Apple has not shared an exact date and time for the relocated store's grand opening.

Apple opened its Fair Oaks store in 2008, less than a year after the original iPhone launched. It is in the Washington, D.C. suburbs, and not too far from Apple's first-ever store at Tysons Corner Center, which also moved as part of a revamp last year.

Update: The temporary Roosevelt Field store and the new Fairfax store both open Saturday, November 9, according to Apple.

Roosevelt Field has an interesting history. It was an originally an airport and many famous aviators took off from there, including Charles Lindbergh on his solo flight across the Atlantic. The original shopping center that was built there after the airfield closed was designed by I M Pei

Oh weird, Roosevelt Field is my mall/Apple Store. I was just there a few days ago, specifically in the Apple Store, and saw no indication of this whatsoever.

It’s worth mentioning the current location of the Apple Store is not where it always was in the mall. It’s moved at least once before. I recall it being on the second floor, at least in the iPod era.

Apple if you see this,
Apple Flatirons Crossing Broomfield and 29th street Boulder are usually very packed and they are tiny stores.

An Apple Store in the Fort Collins and Loveland area would probably be a good improvement also!
 
Had the occasion to go to an Apple store last month after years of not. The ordeal was terrible. Basically, you have to make an appointment like going to the doctor. Want to shop around and just look, nope. Everything is locked up. This was a high-end location.

I was on the team that opened the Fair Oaks store back in 2008 - kinda sad to see it move on, but that mall is dying and Apple is smart to get outta there...

Matt, I’m glad you’re finally back from your 15. We’ve been absolutely swamped in the family room! Lei said we’re out of appointments for the day so Lori added 253,000 people to the walk-in queue in Concierge. They’ve been waiting for 16 years. Kyle asked me to triage and everyone has a 3GS with water damage and cracking plastic. Sonny said to make an exception for CS. Nobody remembers their AppleID and GCRM is still down. Susan is coming and Charles is pissed.

Deidre is sleeping. They should organize the whole store for the masses of people entering every day. The picture is nice. One customer and three specialists. Queueing and waiting is horror. No information given you only see a few tables. Overcrowded museums but not a shop system that follows function.

yeah I feel like Apple doesn’t have anything to show for it in person until it actually happens. so one day that current store will be covered with a sign for their temp location.

haven’t been there in a while.

I can’t stand the parking at Fairfax Corner. All the surface lots are jam packed and the garage is a hike from any of the stores.

Yes, the parking there is already ass. The easy parking is one of the perks of Fair Oaks Mall and that store has been my goto vs Reston, Tysons, or Potomac Mills.

Indeed, though it's not like Tysons is lacking for parking, just so much easier at Fair Oaks.

Now the Clarendon Apple Store...that place and I have bad juju. Not their fault, and not just that I have to pay for parking, but every time I go there, it seems like something bad happens.

I went to Roosevelt Field yesterday and the Apple Store was exactly where it’s been for the past decade, looking exactly like it did 2 weeks ago. Nothing changed

The only Apple Store I go to is the Clarendon location, and I only go on holidays or Sunday’s so that I do not have to pay for parking. I hate how congested that area is.
