According to figures provided by Apple to The Loop, there have been almost 300 million visits to Apple Stores around the world since October 2011 (the start of Apple's current fiscal year).
And a lot of them are clearly not "just looking, thanks" - Apple reportedly has the highest revenue per square foot among retailers in the US, achieving seven times the median revenue per square foot for the top 20 retailers.
Furthermore, the Genius Bars at those 375 stores (the latest two opened in Canada last weekend) look after 50,000 people per day.
