Yes, and most credit cards will offer an additional year of warranty for no cost. |
lol, honestly who's even surprised? This was such an easy cost cutting measure that it should've been taken way sooner. They let the future shop brand stay there too long just to appease Canadians. Most of these locations never made any sense as future shop and best buys were literally a few min walk apart from each other. |
feel sorry for the loss for workers don't feel sorry losing future shop though. there are enough specialty stores to cover their target market, and their sales tactics are borderline harassment. |

So Best Buy decided to give the consumer a perception of 2 options in hopes to squash A&B and Visions, and it worked (common practice, google multi-brand strategy) I'd just rather them keep the Future Shop name and shutter the Best Buy ones, but that'd never happen I guess :/ |

Wait, so this was just a sudden action they decided to pull on everyone without any sort of warning, even including their own staff who showed up to work this morning?? :fulloffuck: ?? |

Unfortunately, in today's retail environment, unless you are able to create a unique shopping experience, you will not survive. While some shoppers (mainly the boomers and some gen x) still likes to be "sold to", the majority of the younger generation prefers doing their own research and then finding the best price. They no longer needs the sales advisors to teach them about product. And in today's fast pace technology environment, it is hard for an associate to know everything about everything... That's what Google is for. It will be interesting to see who gobbles up these prime real-estate.... With the recent target exit, the market is flooded with prime retail space and experienced retail workers. I wonder if we will see more American retailer with deep pockets trying to make an entry when there is ample real-estate and staff. |

I'm not sure what you mean by minimizing risk and loss, or the reason why they dropped the news like a ninja. Glad to hear the staff got reasonable severance, but wtf?? I'm just kind of shocked, and not understanding the business side of why this was executed (the way they delivered the news, not why they are merging with BB) |
wouldnt surprised me if they do it to prevent ppl from quitting earlier or slacking or taking stuff ? |

years ago a camera store was selling a canon flash for 50% of what futureshop is selling. i went into futureshop lansdown to try n price match, the sales rep gave me the run around on how they dont have stock and they'll order it and it'll be here the next day while honoring the price for me. next day i went in looking for the same rep n he wont sell it to me at that price, said he can do 10% off their own retail price, im like go fuck urself n peaced it outta there |

When sportchek announced the closedown of sport mart, a full team of sport chek managers went into sport mark and took control to minimize risk. |
