After reporting weaker than expected sales, Best Buy announced that it is closing 50 stores and cutting 400 jobs in corporate and support areas. The silver lining? The company says it is going to invest in improving customer service.
Despite offering bigger discounts and free shipping to lure shoppers from its rivals including Wal-Mart Stores Inc and Amazon.com Inc , Best Buy's same-store sales fell 2.4 percent in the quarter, including a 2.2 percent decline at its U.S. stores open at least 14 months.
