End of An Era
Today's online edition of the Wall Street Journal reported The Best Buy Company's decision to close 50 of its 1100 stores, nationwide, as part of a retrenchment strategy -- responding to present economic conditions. Most closures will occur on 12 May. Seven of the 50 stores are in California -- including our Pittsburg store. [a sad loss]

Thanks to Dena Jordan for the timely "heads-up."
4/14/Sat -- I just dropped by the Pittsburg store - they're closed today, but workers were handing out flyer-coupons for $10 (off every $50, regular-priced purchase). One per household. They're good, on 5/13 (the day after their closure) till 6/2/12 -- at Brentwood, Pleasant Hill and Fairfield stores -- only.
