Monterey Store Confirmed

The rumors–and hopes–of an Apple store at the Del Monte Center in Monterey (Calif.) have been confirmed. The picturesque, bayside community is home to a community college, the Defense Language Institute and the Naval Postgraduate School, providing some well-paid, highly-educated customers for local businesses. The store will most likely occupy the former space Limited Express, which recently closed, and maybe even the former Lane Bryant store next door. The mall recently underwent a $20 million renovation that has attracted several other upscale retailers. The store could open by year’s end.
