Apple already has one of the most proliferated, profitable, and popular retail brands in the world. But nobody ever said that something big couldn't get bigger.

For Apple, bigger is definitely better when it comes to the Apple Store. This summer, we're told, the biggest Apple Store in the world will open its doors in one of the planet's most high-end and tech-savvy destinations -- the United Arab Emirates (Apple CEO Tim Cook is pictured above in the United Arab Emirates last year).

The Khaleej Times reports that the new store is coming to Dubai in August. And, astonishingly, it will cover more than 50,000 square feet inside the prime and posh real estate of the Mall of the Emirates.

Apple, we should note, is yet to confirm any of this. But sources in the know say that it is happening. And, for Apple, it's going to be huge -- literally and figuratively.
