Paul Dardis, general manger of Best Buy's Roseville store, said these are some of the key features of the remodel:

• Wider aisles.  The wider foot corridors make it easier for shoppers to naviagate in the store.

• Lower shelving. This not only makes it easier to see across the store but allows customers to grab boxed merchandise for purchase. No more overhead inventory stacks.

• A new central "help desk' designed to provide "techno-stressed" shoppers free advice on how they can use their techie gadgets or get them in sync with other electronics.

• A makeover of the store's appliances department, now featuring a Pacific Sales bath and kitchen center. The store also boasts a sleek presentation of Magnolia Home Theater, a higher-end retail store-within-store.

• Dedicated brand stations, such as Samsung, to show shoppers how various techie products are interconnected.

• A new "pick up" window for customers to get merchandise they have ordered online. With its online business becoming an increasingly important, the Roseville store is devoting more back-room space for Internet orders.
