The company currently operates nearly 500 stores across 19 countries generating tens of billions in retail sales every year. According to Deloitte’s “Global Powers of Retailing” report, that puts Apple, a hardware company first, among the Top 50 retailers in the world.Under the leadership of Angela Ahrendts, Apple’s senior vice president of retail and online stores, the company currently implements a new retail strategy, trying to create a relaxed atmosphere for people to get together, learn, work (and buy stuff) at the company’s flagship stores.
