Apple Store to Open at Quaker Bridge Mall on Saturday

Now Mac enthusiasts won’t have to make the trek to Freehold or Bridgewater, both at least a 30-minute drive away.

Quaker Bridge Mall officials announced this week that a new Apple Store will open on Saturday, June 29, at 10 a.m., bringing an end to months of rumors about a Mac-Centric store coming.

The Apple Store may be the most anticipated store opening at the renovated mall on Route 1. For months, rumors swirled about the possibility, but Apple officials declined to confirm the rumor.

Then on May 30, the mall posted a photo on its Facebook page

It was shortly after 4 p.m. when someone managing the Mall's Facebook account posted a photo of the new store location inside the mall along with the message, "Guess who is coming to Quaker Bridge Mall!?"
