Minneapolis-St.Paul Business Journal
Best Buy Co. Inc. has opened a Geek Squad location at the Minneapolis campus of Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota, the first time the retailer has put one of its tech-support operations at a hospital.
Best Buy, an electronics retailer based in Richfield, said that the site, which opened Monday, will provide free tech support to children and families at the Minneapolis campus.
An initial staff of three Geek Squad personnel will support all non-medical technology for patients and family members, including room entertainment systems, laptops, and cell phones. The precinct will be open every day until 7 p.m.
Best Buy is also providing tech-consulting services for Children's ongoing renovations to patient rooms, set to be completed next year. It is not known at this time if the company will implement the tech-support program at other U.S. children's hospitals.
