Best Buys 45,000-square-foot Manalapan, N.J., location. The store bulked up with 16,000 extra SKUs before the long holiday weekend.

Store managers were on hand hours before opening, including, from left, Anthony Boneventa, Frank Baeli, Pat OConnor, general manager Roman Zielonka and Christina Birro.
