Best Buy is a leading American retailer of consumer electronics and related services. The company was founded in 1966 by Richard M. Schulze and James Wheeler under the name Sound of Music, with its first store opening in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Best Buy's primary focus is on selling electronic products such as TVs, smartphones, laptops, tablets, gaming consoles, cameras, and home appliances. The company also offers a range of services, including Geek Squad technical support, in-store workshops, and online product reviews.

In addition to its wide selection of products, Best Buy provides a unique shopping experience through its various store layouts and design elements. Stores typically feature interactive displays, hands-on product demonstrations, and trained sales staff available to answer customer questions and provide recommendations.

Best Buy has made efforts to adapt to the shift towards e-commerce by incorporating online features into its stores. Many locations offer services such as in-store pickup for online orders, online returns for in-store purchases, and a mobile app that allows customers to scan products in-store using their smartphone cameras to check prices, availability, and product information.

As of 2022, Best Buy operates over 1,000 retail stores across the United States.
