As we'd previously reported, Apple appears to be preparing to unveil the new 5th Avenue Retail Store for Friday.
MacRumors reader Will submitted this photo which shows construction workers starting to remove part of the white covering from the store's new glass panes.

Pardon my ignorance, but I presume the store is actually underground, and this is the "ground floor" ?
Having never been to the store, I no not of such things.
Apple is slipping with all of these products that have so many bugs, they need to stop wasting money on stores and start building better products
Yup, if they saved that $6.6 million then all those terrible Apple products that all those dopey people own would be perfect - just like all those perfect other brands.
Yup, those terrible products sure don't sell, and all those silly stores have nothing to do with the stock closing today at $403.07.
Yup, no money left over in Apple's coffers after spending all that money on those stores.
