Best Buy opened in California on Nov. 18 with a grand opening celebration attended by swarms of public and several county officials, celebrities from the Today show, a Redskins Hogette, Sunshine the Clown and the Great Mills High School jazz band directed by Matthew Bufis.
Best Buy donated $10,000 to the Boys and Girls Club, made a substantial donation to the Kids Helping Kids food drive and adopted three local roads.
Best Buy employs nearly one hundred members of their community.
