Best Buy has come a long way in providing consumers with tech and electronics since it first opened in 1966. For starters, back then, it wasnt even called Best Buy.Richard M Schulze and James Wheeler opened a store dedicated solely to high fidelity stereos and called Sound of Music. By 1978, they had nine locations throughout Minnesota. It wasn’t until a seeming case of bad luck that the music tech store started to become the electronics mega retailers we know today
