Will Apple Store Be Taking Bigger Bite out of Rosedale Space?

Is Apple planning to take a bigger bite out of Rosedale Center and relocate its existing store at the Roseville mall into larger quarters?

That's the story being reported by the St.Paul Pioneer Press.  

"Apple hasn't confirmed a Rosedale-store move and expansion, but a source says the bigger store will occupy a space across from the existing outlet," writes Pioneer Press reporter Julio Ojeda-Zapata. "That new space, vacated by three smaller stores, is now boarded up."

Contacted by Roseville Patch today (Monday), Rosedale senior marketing manager Elisabeth Ostrander said, "At this time I have no further info on Apple."

Apple's Rosedale store occupies about 3,000 square feet.

Since it debuted a few years ago, the Apple Store has been one of Rosedale's most popular shopping destinations. The store is regularly busy; One day last September, a long line of customers streteched outside the store's doors down to Macy's when the consumer electronics retailer debuted its new iPhone 5 cell phone.
