This story on the coming demise of Best Buy is interesting for lots of reasons, not the least of which is that the company has evidently been around since 1966. Who knew?
Not mentioned in the piece is one of the most striking parts of Best Buy’s evolution over the last 15 years: it’s increasing devotion of floor space to household appliances. Stoves, dishwashers, and fridges are still items you don’t buy online, at least in part because most of the time you cannot trust the manufacturer’s listed dimensions and you’ve got to measure the things yourself to make sure they’ll fit.
