Apple closes the last of its Apple Mini stores. They probably couldn't stir the customers with a stick it was getting so crowded. The new, far larger store opens tomorrow — PING!

Bye-Bye Apple Mini Store Ping!

The demand for Apple product is so high that having mini-stores was pointless. In fact, I feel cramped even in the full-size stores.

In fact, Apple stores have the highest per-square-foot revenue in all of retail. The only other retailer that comes close is Murphy USA, which is a chain of tiny gas-station convenience stores that are crammed with high-priced snack items, tobacco, beer and wine.

Having had occasion to need help with an Apple product and visiting one of their stores to receive advice from one of the “geniuses” (I am not making up that term ... it’s what the company calls them) I’d be pleased to see every one of those places shuttered and the incompetent yet arrogant asshats who work in them out on the street.

We had one of these mini-stores in Syracuse. Sometimes it would get so crowded you couldn’t move. They recently replaced it with a much larger store. Much better now.
