Apple has posted job listings for a store in New Haven, a company spokeswoman said Monday.
The postings on the company’s website include no information about the store’s location, although speculation has centered on a Broadway store (pictured) owned by Yale University Properties. Barnes & Noble, which runs the Yale campus bookstore, emptied half its space in February.
The Apple spokeswoman said she could confirm the job postings, but that the company has “made no announcement” about a New Haven store.

Apple’s jobs site lists New Haven as a location for a number of job titles, including “manager” and “genius.” While the store address isn’t specified, New Haven is listed under the heading “stores accepting applications.”
A Yale official referred all questions to Apple.

The former bookstore space (pictured), which used to house Yale-themed apparel and gifts, is under construction. Posted on one of the windows facing Broadway is a permit issued April 15 to Shawmut Design and Construction. The permit is for an “overhead pedestrian scaffold to demolish and construct new building.” Another permit nearby gives the company permission to start work on relocating the entrance to the store.
In February, the Independent reported that representatives for Apple toured the site. City officials — and Mac enthusiasts — have long sought to bring a branch of the Apple empire to the Elm City.
