Best Buy founder: C'mon, folks, my takeover plan will work


The Best Buy in Manhattan's East River Plaza was shuttered on Sunday. It was one of the 50 locations the electronics retailer said last spring would be shut down. On Saturday, customers picked through mostly empty shelves for close-out deals.

With each passing day, Best Buy appears headed for a family feud.


Richard Schulze, the founder who was on the outs with Best Buy's board when he resigned his seat in WHEN, continues to try to persuade directors to sell him the company. Schulze today sent the board a letter saying he would pay up to $8.8 billion for the floundering big-box electronics chain, according to a New York Times report.
