Good stocking stuffer. Stores around Edmonton have lots around.

what is fs?

 

[blainehamilton]

FS is Future Shop. A Canadian based electronics retailer.

The company tried to move into the northwest US about 2 or 3 years ago and got their asses whupped. From what I understand Best Buy bought them out, but will continue to operate them under the Future Shop name.

They are opening a lot of new stores so it looks like they have more or less recovered from the US expansion failure. They have very little competition here, (Visions, A&B sound, Compusmart) so they don't run the specials like you see in the US.

Hope this clears things up...

oh cool. well bb is whipping a lot of stores a***

Yeah, I like BB, bought a lot of stuff there while in Vegas in Sept.

Just wish CC and Office Max would get their stuff together and make a move into Canada. Staples and Office Depot are way too comfortable up here. We never have any of the competition rebates and specials like you guys got in the US.
