It’s that time of the year, the Big Game is coming and we know football fans are looking for the setup of the century to take in all four quarters — and of course, the halftime entertainment too.
We chatted with Home Expert Nikki Jones in Columbus, Ohio, to get some insight and tips on the latest tech and products that’ll shake up your watch party.
Of course, the most important part of your game day viewing is the big screen you’ll be watching it on.
This month, Best Buy Teen Tech Center® members from across the country will see their original artwork on display across a new line of PopSockets PlantCore™ grips. The collection features twenty-two phone grips, designed by teens, that are exclusively available online.
Through the Best Buy Foundation design program, youth worked alongside PopSockets professional mentors to create their very own PlantCore™ grip, an expanding and collapsing plant-based phone grip that functions as a stand and provides drop protection.
For the new capsule, teen members of the program were asked to center their creativity and design ideas around what “building brighter futures” means to them.
Brothers Luis and Salvador Salado-Herrera balance full-time Best Buy careers with running their own vintage streetwear store with their younger brother, Daniel.
The store, called Bro Bros Closet, has expanded over the last seven years from an online-only operation to a physical location in south Minneapolis where the brothers focus on building relationships with customers and their community.
“When we’re able to help customers find a nostalgic item or something that brings a smile to their face, that’s the most rewarding thing,” Daniel said.
It all started innocently enough.
As Walden III Middle School in Racine, Wisconsin, was kicking off its annual holiday classroom door decorating contest, a colleague walked by Jeff Ruggaber’s display, caught a glimpse of gingerbread, and tried to find out what his students were creating this year.
“Uh, it’s a Best Buy!” answered Jeff, an art teacher.
With the competition relying on the elements of mystery and secrecy, and people constantly trying to scope out what others are doing, Jeff’s response just popped out.
