Best Buy had its beginnings in 1966 when it was founded in Minnesota as Sound of Music, a store specialising in audio products. The company went public in 1969 and in 1983, changed its name to Best Buy Co., Inc. It is now a specialty store that caters to consumers looking for electrical and electronics appliances such as televisions, computers, cameras, video equipment and games and iPod and MP3 players. It also offers after-sales services that come in the form of extended warranties, product repair, broadband voice, data, and information technology services and home delivery and installation services. Best Buy is one of the largest computer retailers in the US, if not the largest, and data as at February 28, 2009 showed that it was operating more than 1,100 stores across the nation and in excess of 2,800 other outlets internationally in Canada, China, Europe and Mexico.
Best Buy received a number of accolades over the years, such as being named "Company of the Year" by Forbes magazine in 2004, "Specialty Retailer of the Decade" by Discount Store News in 2001, and being listed as one of Fortune magazine's Most Admired Companies in 2006.
