Best Buy Beats Retail Industry Holiday Sales Blues

Published January 1st, 1970



While apparel, department and specialty stores bemoan a 2007 less-than-stellar holiday sales season, consumer electronics retailer Best Buy announced Friday that its total revenue for the fiscal month ending Jan. 5 rose 11 percent to $7.3 billion, meeting the company’s expectations. That increase was due in part to the net addition of 127 new stores during the past 12 months. For the same period ending Dec. 30, 2006, the electronics giant reported total revenue of $6.6 billion.
