This is anecdotal, and I haven't worked there for close to 5 years, but back when I was at a mall Apple store, our store was clocking more revenue per square foot than any other store in the (upscale) mall. If I remember correctly, it was by a factor of 2 or more. Granted, it was only a 30 foot store, and the items are pretty big ticket anyway, rent there is more expensive etc etc, but all that being said, Apple stores are REALLY good at selling Apple products.

I once heard that the rent was $6,000 a month for a cart in one of the prime areas at our upscale mall. Usually these sell bamboo plants or cell phone accessories.

I wonder if your store was average for the AAPL universe.
