This is my question as well- I would love an Apple Store a little bit closer to my house than the one at King of Prussia Mall.

I guess that I should not complain- but I do have to drive ~1.5 hours to get there and another 1.5 hours to get back.
You should be able to ride an Amtrak train directly from Lancaster, since the store seems to be just north of the tracks. Since there is a SEPTA regional train there, it should be an easy ride for people from Philly and Micro Center in Radnor is pretty much right on the way, too. It was just off U.S. 30 (Lancaster Avenue) and the new Apple store is probably another 15 minutes west on the SEPTA train.
It's certainly cheaper than putting a store in the Philadelphia city limits.

Harrisburg/Lancaster/Lebanon city limits.

Sure, once the area has an upscale mall. Where is the closest Macy's, Bloomingdales, Brooks Brothers, Gap?
Of course, Lancaster County has the greatest concentration of outlets, so when Apple starts selling for less...

Where in NJ? There are a number of stores in the state and you wouldn't have to deal with Philly traffic.
If it is Southern NJ you should give Sagemore a try (Marlton, NJ).

It's a suburban area - not a city. I really doubt that there will be too many people there.
As for traffic, you don't have to deal too much with Philly traffic since it is right near the junction of 76 and Route 1. Keep in mind Kelly drive and MLK (formerly West river) are both closed for the Dad Vail Regatta.

There might not be too many people there, but finding a place to park will be difficult. I suspect that's why they chose an side street, since the parking is usually on one of them. All the towns along the main line could use a parking garage, even if it's only 2-3 floors.
I've had a habit of showing up for Apple store openings about 30 minutes prior to the opening and staying away from the rabid Mac-o-lytes in line. I still got two t-shirts but missed the third.
Hopefully, it's a good day to be there.
