A Brief History

In 1966, Richard Schulze and his business partner opened a store called “Sound of Music”. By 1983 the company had seven stores and was producing an excesses of $10 million in annual sales. It had also rebranded itself as Best Buy, and started to focus on all areas of electronic retail. The business model also changed as new locations featured a high-volume, low price business model. The second revision of the store happened in 1989 when the upper management decided to start placing all stock on the sales floor rather than in a stock room. Continued success has lead to the company breaking the $1 billion in annual revenues in 1992.
