Apple is the leader in $/sqft in retail. An article from 2017 put it at $5500/sqft in US dollars.

Another Star Buck ??? No thanks.... I always thought a microbrewery would be cool here too. Have a brewhouse and call it the Pub (Public Utilities Building). Seemed too easy.

I was surprised by that number too. I would think $400k gets you a lot more than the typical Starbucks furnishings. I wonder if there is a lot of retrofitting that needs to be done.
