A week ago I wandered into a Best Buy store. I had not been in one in a while so I was so excite to see some awesome changes! And it is such a great improvement that I had to share it with you so you can go check it out yourself!
Best Buy has always been a name I trust. I know that no matter what, I can generally find what I need and get the help I need. But, to be honest, they were needing a face lift. So, happily, store by store, they are getting one!
I was most impressed by the new displays that have shorter shelves and more of a “working area”. At 5’1″, my eyes fall low on shelving units. So to look up and have to ask for help to get something off the top shelf and such was never something I was comfortable with. In hind sight, I have probably missed out on some great products as a result. So to have the shelving low and there actually having an opportunity to test out a lot of the products right there in front of me is a HUGE advantage, in my opinion.
Another thing I have always liked about Best Buy is their Tech Savvy group, The Geek Squad. But the few times I have been in I have had to wait in line since they are always so busy! I was so excited to see that they have expanded the Geek Squad to accommodate the growing need for everything from technical help to gadget repair! The waiting seems to have been cut way down and the comfort of the area makes any time that you might have to wait a lot easier! I really like it and think this is an improvement that definitely was needed!
The other thing I really like about the new layout and shopping experience Best Buy is now offering are the new in-store digital displays that update you on the latest technology while you shop. So if you are interested in seeing what is new about a Tablet, for instance, you can watch the digital display and it will show you what is new and important information about it. For the not so tech savvy, this is an innovative and helpful tool!
Easier ways to see, touch and test products, an expanded Geek Squad to aid in your technology woes and displays that inform and guide are all GREAT things to make your shopping trips easier! I really like the NEW Best Buy and could have stayed there all day!
Have you been to your local Best Buy lately? Have they added these wonderful improvements to make your store more helpful for you? Be sure to come back and tell me what you think of the new stores!

I was in a Best Buy store Friday (11/2) and did not see any of the new displays. I visited a Best Buy store in a neighboring smaller city and perhaps the upgrades will begin later on. I beleive that improved/enhanced dispays will allow people to shop for new technology at their own pace and result in increased sales. There is so much new technology available and stores that want to sell the merchandise must make it accessible to potential buyers. Most people want to hold and see a working model of what’s in the box before they spend $200-$600 on what they perceive to be in the box, so the improvements are helpful to the customer as well as the manufacturer and retailer. It’s a win-win-win.
No but I’m sure I’ll be checking it out this holiday season!!
I have not seen it, but will definitely check it out.
I do not get there too often, I will have to check it out soon!

Yes, actually, the Best Buy closest to my work is working on some changes and it’s really opened up the store. The one closest to my house is newer and smaller and has always had to innovate due to the space limitationsand I’ve preferred it for that reason alone.
The phone center looks great
I have not seen it, I was at Best Buy over the weekend and it was the same.
