27 Mar: Repair, Reuse and Recycle – How Best Buy keeps products in use longer

As the nation’s largest seller of consumer electronics, we are committed to being there for the entire lifecycle of your technology products — from the time you start shopping at Best Buy until that product is responsibly recycled.  

This is all part of how we support the circular economy, a system in which nothing is wasted. For us that also means keeping products and materials in use as long as possible and finding alternatives to throwing them away.

24 Mar: California Agent is fixing tech, teaching fitness

Three years ago, Geek Squad Agent Kriegon Newby visited his uncle in California and knew it was where he wanted to be.  

“After my vacation ended, I sent out applications to California stores,” said Kriegon, who was living in Indiana. He got hired at Store 873 in Colma (near San Francisco), packed his car and drove west. 

Since then, Kriegon has not only built a life on the coast, but two careers: When he’s not traveling in his Geekmobile helping people with their home technology, he’s helping people reach fitness goals at a studio.
