I hate when I see more stores closing and when they're the "big box" stores, they're empty for so long.

More and more people are shopping on-line and it's a sting to the economy.

What big box store is closing stores?

Best Buy. Best Buy is looking to close some stores in 2024. They want to offer a smaller experience for customers in some markets around the US. They'll be closing 10-15 stores, according thehill.com, adding to the closures of more than 20 stores in 2023.

Will Best Buy close any stores in New Jersey?

Not as of yet. Best Buy has closed one of their stores in Ohio. While some stores will close down for good, others could get a face-lift, the CEO of Best Buy has said. These changes to these stores that get a face-lift will bring excitement and relevancy to the center of the store area.
