Best Buy (formerly Future Shop)
While I was in town, I did some shopping at this Future Shop in Saint John. This electronics superstore has most of the toys, gadgets, music, movies, and video games that I enjoy, similar stock to Best Buy (closest Canadian location in Dartmouth, NS). Future Shop reminds me of the former Circuit City stores in the USA with the same bright red and white colors. This location is pretty organized compared to other locations I've been to in BC which seem like a mess. I browsed around the laptop computers, GPS units, big screen HDTVs, cameras, DVDs, and finally onto the good selection of music CDs, many titles not available in the USA. The CD prices here tend to be lower than the smaller mall stores. I did buy a few CDs by Canadian artists for the road, some priced at $9.99.
I only wished there were Future Shop stores in the USA since Best Buy and Fry's Electronics are only game left there for electronics after Circuit City's departure. Competition is good for business and the consumer!
