According to WS Development, Best Buy has signed a lease to join The Shoppes at Blackstone Valley located on Rte. 146 just off the Mass Tpke. (I-90). Best Buy will occupy a 33,000 s/f space next to Target and Kohl's in the space formerly occupied by Circuit City.
Best Buy is one of the world's largest specialty consumer electronics retailers with more than 1,300 stores. Number 66 on the Fortune 500, the company's family of brands and partnerships collectively generates more than $45 billion in annual revenue.
"A national electronics player of this caliber and reputation is an exceptional addition to The Shoppes at Blackstone Valley," said Mark Roberts, senior vice president leasing, WS Development.
