Amazon is hitting them hard, I’ve read.
Would that be particularly noticable in Minnesota as opposed to.other states for some reason, maybe tax related?
Virtual sales vs brick-and-mortar sales = no contest. I’m sure Border’s and Circuit City felt some of that pressure, among other reasons, too.
This was an interesting article posted earlier this year.

Newegg is hitting them hard. I bought a Lenovo laptop yesterday morning. A6 processor, 6650M crossfire video, 6G, 500G...$500.
Best Buy makes their money on warranties and big box items...they are all phasing out their dvd/blu-ray/cd’s in the next few months. Only new releases will be available for 3 weeks and then taken off and put online.
I love shopping at stores and Best Buy used to be great. Too bad.

Not a fraction as hard as Obamacare is going to hit them.
