    Default BEST BUY - Sault Ste. Marie

    I was just shopping for a new cell online, Rogers site. When it pulled up the local stores in the Soo they show Best Buy at 24 Second Line West. I know the call centre there has closed, anybody else hear anything about this. If you Google the address, shows Best Buy there as well

    Hmm interesting... Best Buy actually owns Future Shop. They're essentially the same store... same merchandise... same prices. Wonder if the Sault could support two stores that size. Better yet, wonder if people that would comparisson shop between the two stores would know that the they are the same company and it won't matter where they spend their money. :-)

    I know that Best Buy owns Future Shop, but from my experiences in both stores, they don't sell all of the same items and their prices are not the same.

    I'm sure there are some like that. It's hard to generalize an entire chain because we have not been to all of the locations. Sudbury location, though, is fantastic. Helpful but not pushy!

    there. nothing to argue about. i'm not a jerk, i won't hand out random warnings and infractions (unless you are way out of line), but now that this thread has been exercised, i will hand out infractions to the people that keep up with the drama.

    Thanks BDK.. glad to see you around....

    Now... For those interested, did you know you can actually price match FS and BB against each other? Makes for fun times when one has a sale the other doesn't

    I tried finding it but with no success. I think those who still work the center might of mentioned it to them so they had it removed. As for if it does happen I sure hope they gutt that building.
    I can only imagine how much black mold is in that place from the years of leaking roof.
    I'm just surprised no one who work there every put in a workers comp claim for illness from it.
