The big box outlet in Kansas City, Missouri, will close its doors on March 2.

It had served the local area for 16 years, per The Kansas City Star.

“We’re doing everything we can to help all employees find positions at other nearby stores or within Best Buy,” a spokesperson told the outlet.

The Kansas City location is not the only Best Buy store that will be closing in the coming weeks.

The chain’s Apple Valley, Minnesota, site will also close on March 2.

A sign from inside the store says, “It’s not goodbye, it’s see you around.”

Best Buy shoppers can find other stores nearby by scanning a QR code as well as taking advantage of online services.

Bosses announced in March last year that it would close between 20 and 30 stores.

Chiefs also revealed plans to remodel eight stores and open 10 new outlets, per Retail Dive.
