Title: Best Buy to close 50 stores
Post by: Rico on March 30, 2012, 09:16:54 AM
Not too surprised by this.  They have been going downhill in service and selection for awhile now.  Plus they have a ton of competition too.

Check to see if your Best Buy is closing.  I was shocked that so far, all the Michigan Best Buys dodged the bullet - this time.

Cool, ours isn't closing. Ft. Myers and Tampa are though. I love that place. It's a way better place than Circuit City was. I still love going to an electronics store and browsing...don't want to see them all go away.

Huh, surprised they aren't closing at least one Oregon store, we have a lot of them near and in the Portland area.  Must be profitable *shrug*

All those rich Portlandians like their overpriced Best Buy electronics :)
