Major retailers continue to eye Saint John for expansion even though the eight billion dollar Irving second refinery proposal has been shelved. Geoff Stollery of electronics giant Best Buy tells CHSJ News his company is considering a new outlet for our city within the next two years — he says they don’t make decisions based on what’s going to happen in the next six months. Stollery says it’s a ten year commitment and he sees momentum here in the city’s retail market. Best Buy owns the Future Shop chain — and — Stollery says if the plan goes ahead it will include a new and expanded Future Shop outlet in the immediate vicinity of the Best Buy store.
