Best Buy announced yesterday that it plans to shut down all of its small mobile phone stores effective May 31. This news should come as no surprise to anyone who passes by the miniature establishments, usually in shopping malls, and it seems like it is long overdue. Reportedly, they account for only 1% of the company’s overall revenue and 1% of its total square footage.
The electronics retailer will keep its 52 mobile stores in Canada open, and it will continue to sell phones in its regular locations and on its website.
