Move over, Apple - the world's largest electronics outlets

Aug. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- This weekend, Apple is set to open its largest retail store in history in London, reportedly covering over 2,700 square meters of space - but by global standards, that's small change. Here's a look at some of the world's other great electronics outlets.

1. Yodobashi Akiba, Tokyo, Japan

The world's largest electronics store, Yodobashi Akiba offers nine stories (over 23,000 square meters) stuffed full of hi tech equipment, in the center of Tokyo’s geek district Akihabara.

4. Yongsan Electronics Market, Seoul, South Korea

With over 5,000 stores under one roof, the Yongsan Electronics Market is the largest technology market in Asia, if not the world (although we realize it's cheating a little as it's made up of different stores)

5. Surcouf, Paris, France

Surcouf calls itself the biggest computer and digital entertainment store in Europe, welcoming between 10,000 and 15,000 visitors every day, although its size is dwarfed by some of the others (6,350 square meters).
