Best Buy to carry Apple computers in 200 stores
By
Best Buy Co. said Wednesday it will carry Apple Inc. computers in 200 stores by this fall after a successful test last year. The nation’s largest consumer electronics retailer has long carried iPods, But it stopped selling Apple computers in 1998 because sales were slow.
Best Buy vice chairman and Chief Executive Officer Brad Anderson said Best Buy had resisted selling Apple computers because of concerns they couldn’t be sold profitably. But the test in 50 stores “has worked out very well for those stores in terms of being able to find a way to serve that Apple customer, and growing the business in those stores.”
