Target
RadioShack
Best Buy

Originally named Sound of Music, the renowned retailer we now know as Best Buy emerged from humble beginnings. Founded by Richard Schulze in 1966, the company initially focused on audio equipment. A tornado struck a Minnesota location in 1981, destroying the showroom but leaving the storeroom intact. The store subsequently launched a “tornado sale,” advertising the “best buys” on its remaining inventory. Following the sale, the company decided to broaden its range of products, leading to the store’s rebranding as Best Buy in 1983.
Correct Answer: Best Buy
