History of Best Buy
In 1966, Richard M. Schulze and a partner founded Sound of Music, a store specializing in hi-fi equipment located in Saint Paul, Minnesota. Schulze financed the opening with personal savings and a second mortgage on his family home. One year later, Sound of Music expanded by acquiring Kencraft Hi-Fi Company and Bergo Company. In its first year, the business earned $1 million in revenue and about $58,000 in profit.
By 1969, Schulze had bought out his partner, expanded to three stores, and took the company public on NASDAQ. By 1978, Sound of Music operated nine stores throughout Minnesota. In 1981, a tornado destroyed its largest store in Roseville, prompting Schulze to hold a massive sale of damaged inventory in the parking lot, which earned more than a typical month’s revenue.
Two years later, in 1983, the company was renamed Best Buy, opened its first superstore in Burnsville, and expanded its product range to include appliances and VCRs. Today, Best Buy owns five private brands, including Insignia, which specializes in electronics.

History of Uber Eats
Uber Eats was launched in 2014 as an extension of Uber, with the goal of facilitating food delivery service. The idea came about when Uber’s founders noticed the success of their ride-sharing app and decided to apply the same model to food delivery. It initially started in Los Angeles and quickly expanded to other U.S. cities and then worldwide.
Uber Eats stood out by offering a fast and convenient way to order food, without the need for phone calls. It also provided restaurants the opportunity to expand their reach without having to build their own delivery infrastructure. The app used advanced technology to optimize deliveries, predicting the best routes and times.
Over time, Uber Eats diversified its services, adding options like “Uber Eats Pass” and contactless delivery. It also began including supermarkets and convenience stores. Today, it is one of the leading food delivery services globally, with millions of users and thousands of partner restaurants, transforming the way people enjoy food from home.
