Is Your Local Best Buy Closing Down? Check Out this List
So far this year, Best Buy has closed down a store in Kansas City, Missouri and another in Scottsdale, Arizona, and has notified five Twin Cities stores and a one in San Antonio of plans to close them down later this year. That leaves 42 stores left on death row, which are listed below. States that will be hit the hardest include California (seven closures), Illinois (six closures), and Minnesota (five closures).

"This was not an easy decision to make. We chose these stores carefully, and are working to ensure the impact to our employees will be as minimal as possible, while serving all customers in a convenient and satisfying way," Best Buy said in a statement. "But we also recognize the impact this news has on the people who deserve respect for the contributions they have made to our business.
"We will be working to help these employees find other positions inside Best Buy. If they don’t find new positions, or if they choose not to work at a different location, a transition including severance packages will be available."
Best Buy expects to close nearly all 42 doomed locations by May 12, 2012. The three that will survive a little longer will be closed down later this summer, Best Buy said.
