Best Buy over the weekend announced the complete list of fifty stores that it will close in the next few weeks, and the St Joseph location is NOT on the list.

The company announced plans to close the stores last month, and has already closed an outlet in North Kansas City and one in Scottsdale, Arizona.

Best Buy officials have notified five Twin Cities stores and one San Antonio store that they will close later this year.

 

The remaining 42 stores slated to close were listed in a news release. The Best Buy outlet near the Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas will shut its doors, as will one in suburban St Louis.

In the news release, the company said it would work to help employees find other positions within the company. Otherwise, they will offer a transition and severance package.

The company announcement said it 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. But we also recognize the impact this news has on the people who deserve respect for the contributions they have made to our business.”

The company says its goal is to “increase points of presence, while decreasing overall square footage.” They will remodel some storesm, and continue to build out Best Buy Mobile small-format stores across the country.
