Apple is set to open yet another one of its stores this Saturday, May 31, in Huntsville, Alabama. Folks living there should already know of the existence of Apple's store located at the Summit shopping center in Birmingham, which makes the new store the second one to open in Alabama.

The Huntsville store opens at Bridge Street Town Centre, "a mixed-use 'lifestyle center' in Huntsville located at the corner of Old Madison Pike and Research Park Boulevard in Cummings Research Park," Macworld is reporting. But just so you can have every possible chance of making it to the Bridge Street Apple Store in due time, Apple's grey-and-white website says it is located at 6782 Old Madison Pike in Huntsville, Alabama, next to Bebe and The Walking Co.

Also, since Apple's website says "Apple Store, Bridge Street Grand Opening Saturday, May 31, 2008," Alabama residents can at least expect a free T-shirt giveaway and a lot of high-five-ing (wonder how much this store cost to build).

Macworld also notes that the location features more than 70 upscale shops and restaurants, so at least there's no chance on earth you might get while waiting for the store to open its doors. Store hours will be:

Mon - Thu: 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Fri - Sat: 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sun - Noon to 7:00 p.m.

Apple also encourages folks to sign up for their monthly email, to be among the first to know about the free events at their local Apple store. Apple hosts free events and workshops that showcase Apple products, demonstrating how they're used for filmmaking, photography, music, productivity, and more, so click here if you're interested in the company's current offer.

Apple Store Bridge Street will open to the public at 10:00 AM local time. As noted above, the Bridge Street store is the second such store in Alabama. The first Apple store opened was at The Summit shopping center in Birmingham.
