1 Infinite Loop

Apple Headquarters: 1 Infinite Loop Cupertino, California

Infinite Loop is a street encircling the six main buildings of Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California. Each building has a number which corresponds to its single-digit address on the Loop, and so Apple's official mailing address is "1 Infinite Loop". The numbers increment in the clockwise direction. Employees often refer to the buildings as IL1 through IL6. The loop connects to Mariani Avenue, which was the former street address of Apple HQ; early printed material contains the address "20525 Mariani Avenue".

Infinite Loop is at the southeast corner of De Anza Boulevard and Interstate 280. The main office, 1 Infinite Loop, directly faces De Anza Boulevard. There are other buildings on Apple's campus which are in the proximity of, but not on Infinite Loop. Apple has purchased a nearby parcel of land on which to build a second campus.

The name was inspired by the programming concept of the infinite loop.

And yes, at the end of Infinite Loop, the famous Company Store where one can buy all sorts of souvenirs with the Apple logo on it, including shirts and hoodies.

As to whether one can purchase the CPUs from there, it's kind of ambiguous. No hard facts and people who have been there tend to disagree with each other.

Hmm, wonder if there are iPhones there too
