Sixty years ago, Best Buy opened its doors as a little audio shop in St. Paul, Minnesota. Hundreds of stores, and more tech launches than we can count later, we’re celebrating with an anniversary party full of doorbusters, can’t-miss deals—and even our own pair of teched out shoes.
The Anniversary Sale: Aug. 17–23
We’re kicking things off with a full weekend of incredible offers, in stores, on our app and on BestBuy.com, running Monday, Aug. 17 through Sunday, Aug. 23. Then during our anniversary weekend (Aug. 21–23), we’ll introduce another refreshed lineup of even more offers. Highlights include deals on tech like iPads, headphones, laptops and more.
And throughout the sale, being a member earns you more:
- My Best Buy Plus and Total™ members earn 10% back in rewards, up to $60.2
- Earn 15% back3 in rewards on your first day of purchases when you’re approved for the My Best Buy® Credit Card.
Anniversary Day: One day. In store-only.
This celebration continues with a few more surprises in store. On Saturday, Aug. 22, six special Anniversary Day offers will be available exclusively in stores, including a special Gift Card offer. Quantities of the offers are limited, so stop by early for the best chance to snag these one-day-only deals.4
The upgrade sweepstakes
If you have a piece of technology that has seen better days, you are in luck – we want to see it! Customers can submit photos of their oldest phones, TVs, gaming systems and other well-loved technology on BestBuy.com for a chance to win anniversary prizes and celebrate just how far technology has come over the past six decades. It’s our way of honoring the devices that shaped our lives while looking ahead to what’s next.5
Watch the journey with Marques Brownlee
We’ve teamed up with tech YouTuber Marques Brownlee to trace the journey of the telephone over the last 60 years, and how Best Buy has been there through every upgrade along the way. It’s a reminder that “latest tech” has always been a moving target, and we’ve always been here for customers to learn what is next.
Check out the ad takeover on Marques’ YouTube channel starting on Aug. 10.
Custom 3D-printed anniversary shoes
Sixty years deserves something fun. We’re teaming up to offer custom Nexbie 3D-printed Best Buy anniversary shoes, available for purchase on BestBuy.com. Made using advanced 3D printing technology, these limited-edition shoes bring a playful twist to our anniversary celebration and showcase the creativity and innovation that have shaped Best Buy for 60 years. They’re proof that with the right technology, a wild idea can become reality.
This celebration is not about us. It’s about the customers who have gotten us to where we are today. Thank you for 60 years!
