However, we were pretty surprised that the latest edition to the Apple store family, to be built in Shanghai, will take up 5 floors of the 22 story Henderson Metropolitan building on Nanjing East Rd!
5 whole floors of Apple products sounds pretty fantastic to us, but what on earth are they planning to fill all that space with?
Well, according to a recent survey conducted by Apple, customers will more than likely take up most of the square meter-age. As it turns out Chinese Apple stores are visited by up to 40,000 customers per day! Thatā€™s 4x more than U.S stores and all the more impressive when you realize there are only 4 official Apple stores nationwide in China!
