Best Buy
Best buy is a consumer electronics retailer, based in Minnesota. In 1966 Dick Schulze opened an electronics store named Sound of Music, specializing in high fidelity stereos. In 10 years’ time, it grew to 9 stores when a tornado hit and damaged the biggest store. Schulze organized a “Tornado Sale” of all stock in the store’s parking lot, promising “best buys”. It was a big success and so the company was named Best Buy Company. Nowadays Best Buy has more than 1,500 stores, including stores in Canada and Mexico. The company sells consumer electronics, and related merchandise, including software, video games, music, mobile phones, and digital cameras. It also sells appliances and kitchen utensils, and musical instruments.
