Decade of Glass Staircases

"On May 19, 2001, Apple introduced its first Apple Store. The store opening wasn’t any ordinary event; in typical Apple fashion, the company took the conventional wisdom, threw it out the window, and created its own rules. A decade later, the Apple Store is the envy of the retailing world."

 

The Apple store on 5th avenue takes in $350 million in sales a year now making it the highest grossing retailer on the street.
