The candy from Sweets From Heaven is amazingly delicious. I haven’t enjoyed such good food in general since living in Chicago, as I have enjoyed here in FL, and this candy rocks!
So fresh, so many varieties, just super yum!

Herb,

My figure is totally correct, your calculation is off by one zero. Sales per sq .ft. at Apple are actually slightly more.

Tiffany’s is in 2nd place at $2800.per sq. ft.

google average retail sales per sq. ft, you will find a list of the top 20 retailers in America

$5600 per sq.ft? That’s kind of hard to believe because that would mean that a 5000 sq. ft store would have to do $280 million a year. I know Apple stores rock but that doesn’t seem possible

Every major mall that i’ve been in has some variation on Sweets. Never paid attention to their names but they are one of the stores in the mall.
Everytime that I’ve seen them, i think how cute etc they look butalso think of the ridiculously high prices they get.
Common sense tells me that these stores wouldnt take space unless the numbers work for them to make a profit.
What I also think is that these stores do OK but aren’t huge money makers.

Jeff

Have to agree with you on the Apple store , from what I have heard, they will be moving to a space 3 times the size. I believe after the move,the food court will make sense.

Apple sales = $5600. per sq.ft #1 in the U.S.

Costco sales= $1000. per sq.ft. # 6 in the U.S.

Sweets From Heaven sales = $300. or better

Roger,
That is why this concept works, this is not a 1 set price for all concept. The kid with $2.11 and the kid with $1.16 can both buy the candies of their choice (over 500 varieties) and leave equally happy.

As long as they have some loose change in their pocket or a couple of dollars Everytime a teen, preteen or adult visits the mall, they can buy something at Sweets From Heaven
