So , I ’m at the opening of the fancy newApple Storeon Manhattan ’s Upper West Side . Retail tribal chief Ron Johnson is blab about how awesome their retail is and whatnot . I ’ll have pictures up shortly . But for now , digits .
The phone number , admittedly , are telling .
• Apple ’s total sales in 2001 were $ 5.4 billion . Apple Stores this yr : $ 6.6 billion . ( Apple ’s total sales this yr were $ 36.5 billion . )

• They attain 170 million visitant this year . 10 million people slay Genius Bars or personal training .
• Sales per store—$26 million , which is just below what Macy ’s , Target and Best Buy make per store . But , if you seem at the real the three estates , it ’s a somewhat different picture . Apple Stores do gross sales of $ 4,300 per satisfying foot which is 5x the $ 872 per square foot Best Buy does .
• Wow — over 100,000 applicant on file for task at the Apple Store worldwide . 10,000 people submitted covering for the new Upper West Side store . Just over 200 got a chore .

• Apple realized they were going too small with their stores , so now all of their computer memory will be at least “ three tables wide . ” In other words , they ’re go to be bighearted . They ’re also going to be open more store next class , more like 50 . More of them will be “ significant stock , ” iconic 1 like the Fifth Ave . store with the Apple Cube . And they ’ll be going more international , adding stores all over Europe , like the UK , Paris and two in Shanghai bring those “ significant computer memory . ”
• All checkouts are done using an iPod sense of touch now with a new EasyPay system , if you care about the purity of the Apple Store and the old Windows Mobile system offended you .
Okay , BIG NEWS . They ’re gift - wrapper for the first time ever . And you could reserve presents . Your Christmas is now formally complete . You ’re welcome .
