Apple retail stores offer far more gold-absorbing capabilities than other large retailers
In comparison, the average annual sales of U.S. regional commercial buildings per square foot is only 341 US dollars (about 3.7 thousand US dollars per square meter ), the top 20 retailers in the United States are only 787 US dollars (about 8.5 thousand US dollars per square meter ). Asymco said that sales of even $300 per square foot (about $3.2 thousand per square meter) in regular retailers are "pretty good.
"This data shows that Apple's profit margin is much higher than other retailers," said hsf-edediu, an analyst at Asymco. Compared with Tiffany, which ranks second, it is more than doubled in efficiency. It is more than seven times that of the top 20 retailers and more than 17 times that of ordinary malls ."
From the chart, the sales per square foot of Apple's AppleStore retail space far exceeded that of other top companies, for example, the world's largest game chain stores, Gamestop, haoshiduo, food retailer WholeFoods, Best Buy, drug Chain Retailer CVS, and clothing retailer UrbanOutfitters.
Even from a year-on-year growth rate per square foot, Apple AppleStore is far ahead of other companies, about 25% higher than LululemonAthletica, the second largest fitness apparel chain retailer.
