So it is no secret that Apple retail stores are incredibly successful. Currently, Apple has north of 360 retail locations, with each one generating around $49 million annually. That is a crazy number. $49 million per store. Further, all Apple Stores combine for around $18 billion in-store revenue each year.What’s even more, Apple stores took more revenue per square foot than any other retailer in the world.

Clearly, Apple is doing something right. According to MBA.com – also the source of the below infographic – “Apple brings in astounding amounts of revenue from all over the globe, and today it’s the most profitable public company in the world.” Although the graphic is a bit dated, it is from 2012, much of the statistics still hold true. However, the one statistic that really stands out from all the rest is related to the retail industry as a whole. From 2011 to 2012, U.S. retail sales, as a whole, grew by 2%. In that same time period, Apple Store’s retail sales grew by 38%. On an individual level, the average consumer electronic retail store posts about $206,000 in revenue per employee. The average Apple Store employee, however, pulls in about $420,000 in revenue. There are many more wild statistics about Apple’s retail business in the below infographic, via OnlineMBA:
