Apple has announced it will be opening an all-new store at The Shops at Blackstone Valley, an open-air shopping center in Millbury, Massachusetts, near Worcester.
The store is set to open on Friday, December 12, at 12 p.m. local time. Apple is located next to fashion retailer Coach at the shopping center.
Apple has yet to share a photo of the store, but it will have a similar design as its Birkdale Village location in North Carolina. Apple's newer stores typically feature a dedicated counter for customers to pick up orders they placed online.

The new store is a replacement for Apple's existing location at Solomon Pond Mall, in nearby Marlborough, Massachusetts. That location will be closing permanently next month, after more than 10 years of operations. For relocations like these, Apple typically gives employees the opportunity to transfer to the new store.

The change could be due to the launch of Apple's 2026 "Back to School" program, impending price increases, or the launch of new devices.
Apple's annual Back to School promotion for the U.S. and Canada is widely expected to launch any day now, since it still hasn't gone live...
Good luck trying to park there, especially during the holidays. They have the worst parking lot around and with only 1 way in and out the traffic is atrocious. While it's nice to see them opening new stores there, as well as building a new Yardhouse restaurant, they actually used existing parking spots to build the restaurant, they really need to invest in the traffic pattern and maybe add a second entrance and exit.
