Best Buy announced that it will close some of its stores,Grant Preston according to a recent earnings call by the company.

The electronic retail giant plans to close between 10 to 15 stores by 2025, Chief Financial Officer Matt Bilunas said during the call last month.

“As our ongoing practice, we will continue to close existing traditional stores during our rigorous review of stores as their leases come up for renewal. In fiscal '24, we closed 24 stores,” Bilunas said. “And in fiscal '25, we expect to close 10 to 15 stores.”

Best Buy is making the move to improve the customer experience. Instead of keeping larger stores open, the company is trying out flagship options to see if customers will gravitate towards those stores.

“We are planning to open a few additional outlet centers and new formats to continue to test two important concepts. First, we will open small locations in a couple outstate markets where we have no prior physical presence and our omnichannel sales penetration is low to measure our ability to capture untapped share,” Chief Executive Officer Corie Barry said. “Second, we will test our ability to close a large-format store and open a small-format store nearby, thereby maximizing physical store retention through convenience.”

Barry said that these locations will provide different styles of store formats to better suite various communities.. The companies goal is to create more, “vibrant and exciting” centers with updated technology.
