Best Buy #29 originally opened in the [[Regency Point Shopping Center (Racine, Wisconsin)|Regency Point Shopping Center]], at [[2308 South Green Bay Road (Racine, Wisconsin)|2308 South Green Bay Road]], on September 30, 1987, the 35th location in the chain.<ref>Hertzberg, Mark. [https://www.newspapers.com/clip/59536544/the-journal-times/ "Best Buy opening set"], [[Racine Journal Times]], September 29, 1987, page 9C.</ref> By 1994, the company decided that the {{convert|22000|sqft|m2|adj=on}} store was too small and planned to relocate. The Regency Point store closed on November 13, 1994, and the new location at [[2630 South Green Bay Road (Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin)|2630 South Green Bay Road]] opened on November 17, with a grand opening ceremony the following day.<ref>Sumner Coon, Laura.

[[Circuit City 3177|Circuit City #3177]] opened next door to the store in 2000. After the chain's bankruptcy, Best Buy decided to move its Racine store into the former Circuit City space, although the space was about 25% smaller than its existing store.<ref>[https://journaltimes.com/news/local/best-buy-to-open-in-former-circuit-city-soon/article_05d9b5ae-a721-11de-8619-001cc4c002e0.html "Best Buy to open in former Circuit City soon"], [[Racine Journal Times]], September 21, 2009.</ref> Best Buy opened at Southland Center on October 21, 2009.<ref>Burke, Michael.
