BB knows how to market itself in certain territories
Future Watch (or wat have you) in Canada. Its like the CC of Canada
Magnolia Hi Fi - Bought it out or something, can't remeber which, when Sound Advice decided to let them go and now SA is dying if not already dead
And I know they have another one too but can not think of it. They know what certain markets needs and if they are a jack of all trades they tend to gobble up those specific niche items that sell well in their stores (like Magnolia Hi Fi for A/V High end stuff) and buy them out. Now they are starting on a road for better market shares in the PC arena (to bad Alien Ware got bought out by Dell)
