Apple plans Liverpool 'supe...

Apple is building a new "superstore" in the English city of Liverpool, a regional business publication reports. The specific location is inside the Liverpool One shopping center, a Ł1 billion project expected to open on May 29th; while little is known about the Apple Store itself, other outlets in the mall are said to feature design touches such as metallic walls and special sign lighting. News of the store's development is said to have been kept secret for months, but revealed today by One's management company.

Apple is already said to be recruiting employees, who will help Liverpool One reach its target of over 5,000 new jobs for the city. LDP Business notes though that the success rate for Apple retail applicants is extremely low; just over five percent of potential employees are hired.
