It’s folks who ordered an 8-foot-tall Fridge because it sounded fine online (or in the Catalog for Sears), but when it arrived, they realized they can’t reach the top shelf, so they returned it. The Best Buy Outlet sort of serves the purpose that Sears Outlet did, it’s not just scratch and dent returns (like at the end of Sears Outlet). However, with Best Buy still being the only chain still around, selections are drying up. Best Buy and other electronics retailers, did fill in a nice gap. Home Improvement Chains and Appliance Retailers tend to be some of the only options. With the long and painful death of Sears, finally coming to a close you’re quite limited on where you can purchase appliances these days. When visiting this Best Buy Outlet what struck the most is the purpose that this store serves. However, rumors are that an Outlet Expansion in on the horizon. The Outlet concept has so far proved to be a success for Best Buy, which has been closing mainline locations in Houston. While the store would get a permanent sign, and a small bit of interior decor, most everything else was left in place from Golf Galaxy. With the complete demise of Sears and their Outlet division, Best Buy Outlet had gone from a pop-up concept to something a bit more permanent. The product selection and recent expansion somewhat indicate that these stores were Best Buy’s attempt to fill the void left by Sears with the sell-off of their Outlet stores. While the stores can feature lots of different items, the scope is relatively limited to appliances, TVs, and “HiFi equipment”. These Outlet stores feature overstocked, returned, and damaged items at a discount from regular locations. The Outlet location would finally find a permanent home in 2019 opening across from Willowbrook Mall in this building. One of the first locations was leased space in Gulfgate. Rather, it’s Houston’s only Best Buy Outlet store, a concept that has been bouncing around the area since at least 2016. There’s something else unusual about this store though. Although it’s worth noting that this store is a subdivided chunk of a former Venture turned Kmart. No, it’s not in a former Incredible Universe, but rather a Golf Galaxy. Today we’re taking a look at a Best Buy with an out-of-this-world past. Howdy folks, and welcome to Houston Historic Retail.
