Best Buy began as a single audio specialty store called Sound of Music, opened in 1966 in St. Paul, Minnesota, by Richard Schulze. After a tornado damaged the company's largest store in 1981, Schulze ran a tornado sale that drew enormous crowds and convinced him to pivot toward a high-volume, low-margin big-box model. The chain rebranded as Best Buy in 1983 and went public in 1985, then rode the consumer-electronics expansion of the 1990s into a national footprint. Headquartered in Richfield, Minnesota, Best Buy weathered the e-commerce transition that destroyed competitors like Circuit City by leaning into its Geek Squad service arm, price-matching policies, and a renewed focus on store-as-showroom for major appliances and home theater. The company is now the largest consumer electronics retailer in the United States and a meaningful seller of major appliances as well.
My Best Buy is the free loyalty tier; Plus and Total are paid memberships that unlock free shipping, extended return windows, exclusive prices, and Geek Squad benefits. For anyone buying multiple electronics a year, the math on Plus or Total works out, particularly because the Total tier extends the standard return window from 15 days to 60. Best Buy price-matches major competitors including Amazon and B&H during the same window, so screenshotting a lower price at checkout can produce immediate savings. Open-box items in the outlet section are graded Excellent, Excellent Certified, Satisfactory, or Fair — Excellent Certified comes with the full warranty and is essentially a new item at a discount. The student deals page requires SheerID verification and runs separately from the main promotional calendar. Geek Squad service contracts are negotiable; the listed price is rarely the best available.
Best Buy's biggest single event is Black Friday week, which now extends from early November through Cyber Monday with rolling deals refreshed daily. The 4th of July and Memorial Day weekends produce the strongest pricing on major appliances. Back-to-school in August discounts laptops, headphones, and dorm electronics. The post-Christmas markdowns in late December and early January target holiday-themed bundles and TVs. Apple products discount rarely outside Black Friday and back-to-school, so those are the windows to wait for if Apple is on the list.
