Apple is once again by far the most valuable retailer based on sales per square foot, more than doubling the sales of Tiffany & Co.
Apple's retail stores earn $6,050 per square foot, according to the latest data from RetailSails. In comparison, Tiffany & Co. is the second most profitable American retailer per square foot, earning $3,017.
Beyond Apple and Tiffany's, no retailer managed to top $2,000 per square foot, as the No. 3 chain lulu lemon athletic earned $1,936.
Apple also cracked the top 10 retailers with the highest overall sales per store. Apple came in at No. 9, behind wholesale retailers like Costco and Sam's Club, as well as Neiman Marcus and Walmart.
The data from RetailSales comes from an analysis of more than 200 American retailers spanning 15 sectors. Together, they operate more than 200,000 stores and generate more than $1.6 trillion in sales.
Apple has consistently been the top earner among U.S. retailers in sales per square foot. Data released earlier this year showed that Apple Stores earn 17 times more than the national average.

"This proves with numbers that Apple products are overpriced. U mad, Appleites?"
If this has to keep up, I'll wind up turning into the leader of the Anti-Apple Brigade…
This proves that their stores are too small. It wouldn't kill Apple to make their stores larger and only make $5000 per square foot.
I think we can safely say you are already number 1 Hmm, nice n easy posting on the mobile version with a 5
1) BJ's Wholesale? Is that even legal? 2) The more important news is they broke the top 10 sales per store despite their relatively tiny stores. The electronics section of Costco, Sam's and Walmart are probably bigger than most Apple Stores. 3) I expect Apple to grow in the top 10 rapidly. Partially on a presumption of the iPad mini which generates more revenue for the volume it takes up compared to the 10" iPad.
Way to go Apple!!! :smokey:
