Apple Store Opening at Massive American Dream Mall Outside New York City

[Duke24]

"Just outside of New York City." Where? New Jersey. 😂 Just say New Jersey from the start.

It’s located by Route 3 and exit 16W on the NJ Turnpike. If you’re driving from New York City, you’ll take the Lincoln Tunnel and Route 3 West. NJ Transit has express bus service from the Port Authority bus terminal to American Dream (No. 355). Hourly service on Saturday (mall closed Sunday) and two bus departures at 10:00am and 12:30pm on weekdays. Buses go back to Port Authority at 7pm and 9:30pm on weekdays. I took that information from the NJ Transit website. There’s also a train station, but that’s probably only in service when a game is playing at MetLife stadium. It’s also a good long walk so taking the bus which drops you off right by the mall would be a better option, especially if the weather is cold or wet. You probably should avoid the area when there’s a football game, at least if you’re driving your own car. Pay close attention to the signs when you arrive and again when you leave so you don’t drive wrong. All parking is indoors on multiple levels. First half hour is free, then you pay $5.

There are three floors, looks/feels like a lot of other malls. What makes this mall special compared to other Jersey malls is all of the extras: aquarium, water park (bring your swimsuit), ice rink, indoor amusement park (Nickelodeon Universe), ferris wheel, etc. Definitely worth a trip if you’re visiting NYC/Northern Jersey and have time to kill, especially if you have a family.

oh wow thanks. I was just referring to the Apple Store though. 😅

just wanted to know where it is in the mall and how big. a 3-level Apple Store in a mall would be amazing.

The mall is closed on Sunday? What are we heathens to do? Repent? I don‘t think so! 😈

Perfect location, it's a massively overpriced **** show, you even have to pay for parking. But Apple will make a killing, wealthy people travel for hours just to come here. I live about 20 minutes away and have only gone twice. With the malls well documented woes I'll bet they offered space to Apple for a song to increase traffic.

Well that's really lame. So after adding up the increasing Turnpike tolls, especially the greedy PA Turnpike that goes up every Jan. - if I take the PA Turnpike to Delaware River Bridge, that $17.10 right there. Add another $14.40 driving up the NJ Turnpike. (no, I don't have EZpass)...then pay $5 for parking. I already dropped $36.50 and I haven't even stepped foot into this mall yet.

Nah, forget it.

Wait until you see the ticket prices for the events/attractions.

So after the build up of a massive American Dream mall, its just a itty bitty Apple store

Apple today announced it is opening a new retail store at the massive American Dream shopping mall in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Saturday, December 3, at 11 a.m. local time. The store is located around 10 miles outside Midtown Manhattan by car. Photo from 9to5Mac

Closed on Sundays is a big disincentive to go big for Apple… 😉
