Apple’s retail position just seems to get stronger and stronger. Though the number of stores are expanding, there’s no decrease in the average number of visitors to the stores, “indicating a continuing supply of people for the next retail stores that open,” reports ifo AppleStore.
Apple says the number of store visitors has increased from 2.1 million in the third quarter of 2002, to 21.9 million in the same quarter of 2007. The number of open stores has also grown, from 30 in the third quarter of 2002 to 180 in the same quarter of 2007.
ifo AppleStore estimates that these figures mean the number of visitors per store remains “fairly stable,” between 112,000 to 126,000 visitors per store per quarter.
