I don't pretend to know what's going on at SacTowers now, Brandon. I'm just trying to evaluate a rumor posted by a newly registered user, who might or might not be credible.
My first impression, based on intuition not "inside knowledge", is that a close friendship between the Saca family and CEO of Best Buy, Brad Anderson, doesn't sound likely. If he'd posted it was the CEO of Oracle or Diamond Nuts or some other company in California it would sound more plausible.
But the CEO of a Fortune 500 company in Minnesota? When would Anderson have time to be friends with the Sacas? The guy probably doesn't have time to see his wife.
And if Anderson was such good friends with the Sacas I don't think he would have opened Best Buy warehouses so close to the Filcos.
But again, anything is possible. We'll see.
================
Googling for the name of Best Buy's CEO I came across a list of the 2006 Fortune 500, ranked by revenues. Best Buy is #76, ahead of Coca Cola (#89), American Airlines (#105) and JCPenney (#118)!! I had no idea Best Buy was so big.
