Time to crunch some numbers!

I've tried to find some data on revenue per square foot. I know Apple is extremely succesful in their retail space with $4,000 per square foot, but most other retailers run about $1,000 per square foot. These numbers are for merchandisers, and not for coffee shops or restaurants. Any idea as to what your coffee shop should be grossing per square foot? $1000 per square foot for a coffee shop means that a thousand square foot place should be grossing a million a year . . . while that would be nice, it seems a little high. Should we be at 400? 500? 800?
