Radix announced that their new gTLD .STORE made more than $1 million before close of general availability day 1, earlier this week. This figure includes revenue earned from premium names, sunrise and regural registration fees.
.Store started with 10,000 registrations in the first 10 minutes. It closed the 24 hour mark at 25,026 registrations.
At $300,000, premium names were a strong contributor, despite including only the first year revenue from tiered, annuity premium names. .store sold generic key-words and 2 character names to established brands. Several 2 character domains like qq.store, c9.store that have been sold for undisclosed amounts.
Generic words like t-shirts.store and stars.store were sold for one-time fees of $25,000 & $10,000, respectively in the Early Access Program (EAP) before general availability.

I see that a lot of NPers have registered .Store domain names. What are your plans with the extension? Are you going to develop it(put an ecommerce store or an Amazon affiliate store or something) or do you hope to sell them for some profits later?
Also, for those of you who registered it, why do you think .Store is worth investing and is more valuable than the other 1,000+ new gtlds launched?
