Best Buy has announced plans to expands the retail footprint of its stand-alone stores that focus on selling mobile phones. The company is now looking to open a total between 600 to 800 mobile stores in order to better compete with rivals RadioShack, Target, and Wal-Mart. Best Buy hopes to have the new stores open within five years. It is making the move after investors voiced concern over sinking sales at its big box stores. Best Buy has been more aggressive about courting consumers interested in purchasing mobile products.

Best Buy is the most horrible company to work for.

Just wanted to say. Been there done that. Turnover at a store is like a roller coaster ride. You get on you get off. They're all about forcing employees to push crap you don't need. And they get no extra monetary incentive for anything; except for upper management of course. 🙄 My favorite is them asking if you want to buy a flippin replacement plan for a video game?!

I'm sure all you product reps that have had the unfortunate displeasure working BB stores can confirm this.
