Black Friday is a chaotic experience for any Best Buy experience, being a crazy stampede of crazed consumers every year. Just where Best Buy’s leadership got its name from is also an insane story. In 1996, Best Buy was formerly known as “Sound of Music,” whose primary sales were geared around stereos to mediocre success. Poor sales would be the least of the shop’s worries, however, as that year a terrible tornado swept through the area, destroying much of the building and wrecking much stock. Once the chaos had ended, they began selling their damaged goods as “best buys.”
