Peter Binder There is no doubt that Apple is experiencing a successful period. Currently, she is practically successful in everything she sets her mind to. This fact is also confirmed by the publication of quarterly financial results, which were once again a record. As a result, more people visit Apple Stores annually than Disneyland, Disney World and others.
Apple has 317 Apple Stores around the world, where more than 74,5 million customers visit each year. In addition, Apple also offers the organization of weddings in these stores, which has been used by a large number of fans of the apple company in the past.
Apple fans are so loyal that when Apple was not doing well a few years ago, they went to individual Apple Stores and helped sell products there. Apple is simply a phenomenon these days.
But what really surprised me is the fact that the number of visitors to Apple stores exceeded the number of visitors to Disney World and Disneyland four times. Or places that are the dream of every small child, but also of some adults.
You can see the specific data on the graph above, which also shows the numbers for the Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge Tour and opera attendance for the year 2008 (Opera Attendees 2008).

Although the apple store is certainly a great store (I have visited several of them myself), I think that the comparison with Disneyland is completely pointless and meaningless... Disneyland is an amusement park where you pay a fee, while the apple store is still a store where you do not pay a fee ;-) The place would have, for example, a comparison of attendance with the TESCO chain or Makro/Metro, where Apple would probably be located on some lower level
But e.g. TESCO, you have to go there at least twice a month, because otherwise you would starve to death. In 2 years, that would be about 10 visits. But how many times in 240 years are you going to buy a new iPhone or computer? If you buy a new computer and iPhone once every 10 years, that's 2 visits in 10 years. The best would therefore be a comparison with e.g. stores of Microsoft, HP, Intel, LG, Nokia and others.
Yes I agree. :D I was a bit over the top with TESCO, but as you say with Microsoft stores or, for example, phone operator stores or other technically oriented stores like Elektro-world and so on... In any case, Disneyland is a bit out of the question :D
