Reply to comment by bodhipooh in Uniqlo is coming to the Newport mall - Apple should come as well by coliji

Nowadays, Apple is practically a mass market brand disguised as a luxury brand.

Anyways, Queens Center has an Apple Store even though it’s a low/mid-tier mall.

If anything, Newport has more going for it considering it’s surrounded by some of the highest income census tracts in Hudson county. For example, the median household income in the Powerhouse area is over $200k. Meanwhile, Queens Center is in a solidly blue collar/middle class area.

Newport Mall is surrounded by money. Newport itself is a wealthy area. Hamilton Park to the west. Hoboken to the north. Downtown JC to the south. The light rail makes it accessible to more working class neighborhoods. The PATH station being the intersection point between the lines to midtown and downtown manhattan makes it accessible to commuters.

Honestly I expect it to be one of the last malls to close in America. The location is too good and it will probably remain profitable for a long time.

The American Dream mall wishes it had such a juicy location. That place feels like a ghost town every time I've been there.

It's kind of a nightmare to walk to from any direction. Driving around here is bad.

Marin's the only difficult part. It's an easy walk otherwise.
