Best Buy To Expand Their Toy Section

The next time you're in a physical Best Buy store looking at the TV you will later buy on Amazon, you might want to swing by the toy section. According to CNN:

America's retailers are racing to claim a piece of the $10.5 billion in toy sales left behind by Toys "R" Us. Even Best Buy.

Best Buy is expanding toy inventory at its 1,000 US stores. The company is betting that shoppers coming in to buy a new TV during the holidays might want to leave with Barbies or Legos, too.

As if there wasn't enough indignity hunting for toys at Auntie's 2PM Tea Party, now we have to add the level of humiliation of being judged by a 22 year old college drop out blue shirt. Joking aside, there is no way this isn't a good thing. Best Buy stores are ubiquitous and it's good to see brick and mortar jumping to fill the void left by Toys R Us. It means practical toys are still valid.
