This location holds a special place in my heart. When I first moved to San Diego in 2005, I came here to purchase my very first plasma television. I even remember getting approved for a Best Buy credit card at the time, which I believe was backed by HSBC in Hong Kong. That experience felt exciting and memorable, marking the start of my connection to this vibrant area of Mission Valley. Situated right off the trolley station, the area is as convenient as it is beautiful, and traffic is generally manageable, making it an easy and stress-free destination.
Over the years, I’ve returned many times—purchasing TVs, taking my vehicles in for stereo system installations in the 2010s, and exploring their ever-expanding tech selection. Best Buy has truly kept up with the times, offering a comprehensive range of high-end electronics—from Apple and Samsung devices to everything else a tech enthusiast could dream of. The store itself is spacious and inviting, with a large parking lot and easy access from the trolley. Right across the street, a very large Verizon store provides even more convenience if you need it.
Adding to the charm, the San Diego River winds through the area, surrounded by lush greenery, giving the location a surprising sense of calm amid the city’s bustle. It’s a perfect blend of modern convenience and natural beauty, making this Best Buy location both functional and genuinely delightful to visit.
Manager is not doing her job well, very rude and they have weird policies
The one in Mira mesa is better at problem solving

The store itself is good, clean and typically well stocked. Mostly (90%) great interactions with staff who knows their stuff in their respective departments. Every now and then it's a dud, but I think that's kind of the norm now?
Got my PC here it's ok staff...
