So, what s the truth?
The electronics retailer confirmed Wednesday that the company has decided not to renew its lease and that the last day in business in Brockton will be Saturday, Feb. 27. The decision to close a store is never an easy one and we are grateful for our Brockton area customers who have shopped with us over the years, Claire Larson, a Best Buy spokesperson, wrote in an email. Customers can continue to shop Best Buy at our twenty-two greater Boston area stores, including our Braintree and Dedham stores which are both 15 miles away.
Westgate Mall, which is owned by New England Development, confirmed the existing store will close, but left open the possibility for future partnership with the company.
