Also, this warehouse prototype store has been public knowledge for almost 3 years now after Ron Johnson spilled the beans on it. $4000/sqft is amazing though. Wish I could've done that when I ran a retail store. It’s worth pointing out that Drexler (still one of the Directors on the Board) gave the suggestion to build the prototypes.

I've admired the Apple Stores, ever since I set foot in the Virginia store when it opened. They are simple, elegant, and well laid out for their purpose. What I never knew till now is how astounding the sales per square foot figure is! That really is an incredible number, and if Dell is smart, they'll just give up and go back home. They'll never match it. But this story highlights why Apple is going to take the computer industry, as well as the electronics industry, by storm. Because they sell products that are as well thought out as their stores are, and they approach the sale in a different way than their competitors do. They aren't just selling products, they are selling themselves, too. And it works. You’re right, that’s a great article, Nick!
