International Segment
During fiscal 2012, we opened 219 new stores, primarily within our Best Buy Europe and Five Star operations, and closed 114
stores in our International segment, primarily within our Best Buy Europe business. Our small-format stores in Europe tend to
have a greater number of store openings and closings compared to our other store formats, as we continually reposition and
resize stores in certain markets and locations in order to optimize overall performance. We offer Geek Squad support services in
all Best Buy branded stores and within select The Carphone Warehouse and The Phone House stores in the U.K and Spain, as
well as similar Connect Pro branded services in Future Shop stores. We offer the Best Buy Mobile store-within-a-store
experience in all Best Buy branded stores in Canada, with a similar Cell Shop branded concept in the majority of Future Shop
stores.
