~ snip ~Retail stores demonstrated 29 percent growth for the quarter — $715 million. The company ended the quarter with 155 stores, Oppenheimer reported — the stores averaged $4.9 million each. More than 17 million customers came through the stores’ doors during the quarter. The new Fifth Avenue store in New York City has become Apple’s highest volume store. It’s open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and only opened in mid-May.
Oppenheimer also noted that nearly 50 percent of Mac buyers at Apple retail stores are new to the platform — a moderate increase over past quarters, perhaps explained by an increase in interest on Intel-based Macs and Apple’s advertising of Macs on prime-time television.
