As our ongoing practice, we will continue to close existing traditional stores during our rigorous review of stores as their leases come up for renewal. In fiscal '24, we closed 24 stores,” Bilunas said. “And in fiscal '25, we expect to close 10 to 15 stores
For Best Buy "Fiscal '24' is February 2023 to January 2024
Fiscal '25 is February 2024 to January 2025.
It's dumb, I know.
as a retailer, might make a lot of sense not trying to close the books every year within a week of Christmas?; OR to prevent all the accountants from working overtime in that period?
The headline is right. Even if you don't know Best Buy's fiscal year, the tenses used in the quote makes it clear that they already closed 24 stores. Best Buy's 2024 fiscal year ended on February 3, 2024. They plan to close 10 to 15 more by roughly one month into 2025, so not literally "by 2025" but close enough.
