Apple is the top US retailer, at least in terms of sales per square foot, a RetailSails analysis indicates. The firm recently surveyed the last four quarters of over 160 retailers, and remarks that Apple’s sales were about $5,626 per square foot, up 49.1 percent year-over-year. The figures are based on global results, not just those from US stores, RetailSails points out.
The closest one to Apple was Tiffany at $2,974 per square foot.
That’s interesting considering Tiffany’s sells these little colorless rocks for $20,000 a carat plus! That’s like 10 iMacs for the weight of the escape key off the keybaord!
They must have some very sophisticated monitoring equipment to locate which sale was transacted in each square foot!
This again! Every year it’s more and more value. Anyway, they use some serious math to calculate this.
