Wal-mart does, and it's not close.

Are you sure?

I wish I had real numbers, but I can't see how it would be any other way. Volume is huge.

In their January annual report:

459,158,000 square feet (not counting Sam's club)
$191.8 billion dollars of sales

$417.72/square foot of revenue

This isn't way out of range. I wasn't able to find recent competing figures, but a 1995 survey put the median grocery store revenue at about $400/sq ft.

But it is a lot. One major data center provider reported revenues of $164 million on 1.4 million square feet of space or about $117/sq ft.

A small botique (1000-2000 sq ft) earning Wal-mart rates would have revenues of $400-800K/year.
