The Best Buy store at the Shoppes at Wilmar will be closing soon.  Tricia Pitchford and Jesseka Doherty with MidAmerica are the listing brokers for this location.    The other six stores include Council Bluffs, IA; two stores in Baltimore MD; Topsham, ME;  Beaufort, SC and Long Island NY, and they will add to the already 3 stores that have already closed, for a projected count of 10 by year-end. These stores had 2016 lease expirations and Best Buy will simply not renew those leases.  The Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal states Best Buy’s current store count will be down to 1,390, so the 10 stores are less than 1% of their US footprint.
