Yodabashi Camera Akihabara stats

I was talking to the people who do the signage for Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara, and I heard some very interesting things:

1) Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara is the No. 2 largest electronics store in the world in terms of revenue (No. 1 is the Yodobashi store in Umeda)
2) The store stocks 850,000 distinct items
3) On average, 100,000 people come to the Yodobashi Camera Akihabara everyday. In comparison, Tokyo Disney Resort draws 40,000 to 50,000
4) Yodobashi Camera is the third largest electronics chain in Japan, but it only has 20 stores. Yamada Denki, the largest electronics franchise, has about 200 stores
5) The longest LED sign in Japan is on the top of the Yodobashi Camera store in Akihabara

Damn. Even if this is only partially true, that is one massive store…
