free internet surfing drives 90% of traffic to ANY apple store. You may be the most consistently wrong poster I've ever read, yet you post with such conviction and certainty. . . In fact: ". . . each Apple retail store averages $3,000 in annual sales per square foot. In comparison, a busy high-end mall like Tyson's Corner (Virg.) averages overall $600 per square foot, while the Providence Place mall might average $400 per square foot in sales, he said. The 2002 national average for malls was $341, and mall developer Westfield Properties reports their malls average $379." Further, "Apple's . . . retail operation is the fastest in history to reach $1 billion in sales—it took the company only three years to do so, besting the previous record holder, Gap Inc., which took an additional year to reach that milestone." Free internet surfing must be mighty profitable. Thanks for injecting some facts! Here's something you may want to keep in mind. en.wikipedia.org Also, there must be a word for Baseless Opinions Generally Unsubstantiated and Specious.

I'd be curious how the sales figure compares to the average of the cost of retail space in various locations. Like is the NYC store profitable? Commercial rent in that area / square foot is about the same as an entire apartment in other areas :-) (in other words mind boggling) Of course that locale is exposure more than anything else .
