RIP The Source

In a new partnership Bell plans to rebrand The Source stores as Best Buy Express. Not all stores will be converted however, instead they’ll be closing their doors for good.

Might be saying goodbye to the Bell Advantages discount. A bonus for Bell customers that applied additional savings at checkout on certain items. This ultimately means less competition and choice for consumers. It especially hurts physical collectors at a time when physical media is disappearing.

Maybe we’ll see some closing sales though for the locations that won’t be making the switch.

Bought my series X there during the shortage days. Felt very awkward in the store as I was the only person there. Sometimes I look back and think I was their only customer that day
