Set along Berlin's Kurfürstendamm, the new shop will be Apple's 11th in Germany overall. Apple has been developing the location for some time, but only recently has the store approached readiness. The new site will be Apple's largest store in Germany.

Apple's retail stores have given the tech giant a physical footprint around the world unmatched by virtually any other tech company. As the grand opening of the Berlin store approaches, Apple is also prepping a new retail store in Adelaide, Australia. In the fourth quarter of 2012, Apple's retail locations saw 120 million visitors, with the average store doing more than $50 million in revenue for the year.
