In early 2022 Best Buy opened a new, smaller format store at the Sherwood Park Mall just outside of Edmonton, Alberta. This new store is only 7,700 square feet of space.
More than half of the store is allocated to warehouse space for inventory and the rest of the store showcases a traditional retail experience where there’s product on the display. There is one central counter so that customers don’t have to navigate through the store to find services. They are encouraged to go straight to the counter where a store associate will guide them to the product(s) that they are looking for.
