> Apple has (last I checked) the highest revenue/sq. foot retail space in the world
Does this also correctly count the area of all Apple partner stores? In some countries they sell Apple devices but don't operate a single store themselves.
The revenue/sq foot ratio is based on the sales from those square feet, not the total revenue. They measure sales at each individual location for location revenues/sq foot and all locations for overall. Revenue from partner sales, internet orders, etc. are not counted in that (although they might include deliver to store website orders, I don't know). It doesn't hurt that they're selling products with a high price-volume ratio.
