Want to Play XBox With a New York Jet?

The newest Microsoft store in New Jersey will open at the Willowbrook Mall Saturday—and there will be a special guest.

A store ribbon-cutting ceremony will be held at 10:30 a.m.

The first 200 people in line can meet and play Xbox One with New York Jet Eric Decker later that day at 6 p.m.

People can begin lining up to meet Decker Friday at 10 p.m.

The new retail store is designed so patrons can try out products before they purchase them, much like the Apple store located a few doors down.

The store, with its wooden tables, colorful signage, and bright lights, features designated areas for specific products, including smart phones, tablets, video games, and computers, among others. It is fifth Microsoft store in New Jersey.

The store will host free workshop and summer programs where kids can learn how to build their own smartphone and tablet application from scratch.

“We’re offering opportunities here for members of this community that have never been here before,” said Alana DeBaise, community development specialist at the store.
