YONG - CHBU from Yahoo

Title- Yong and Chbu 24-Nov-10 11:21 pm
Message- By a very crude measure--sales over the trailing 12 mos. divided by current numbers of stores, 20,000 in the case of Yong and 500 in the case of Chbu, Chbu has sales per store that are almost twice that of Yong. Operating margins are almost the same. Perhaps Chbu is more efficient at the retail level and Yong has a lower cost of production (because of economies of scale), but almost twice the sales per store? Can anyone explain this to me?
