Report: Apple store may be moving in Bellevue Square

Apple may be moving its Bellevue Square store to a larger space at the mall after Microsoft opened a retail store there to much fanfare last year.

A report from ifoAppleStore.com says the store will move from its first floor location near Nordstrom to a second floor space between Yankee Candle and Papyrus. The space is upstairs and kitty corner from the Microsoft store location on the first floor.

Apple made a similar move in the Scottsdale mall when Microsoft opened one of its first retail stores in Arizona there.

I stopped by Bellevue Square on Friday afternoon and there are no signs indicating Apple will be moving, but the two retail spaces between Yankee Candle and Papyrus are vacant.

Bellevue Square management and Apple did not return calls seeking comment.
