Best Buy
In 2020 Best Buy had to make large adjustments due to lock downs as they were required to close down stores and require customers to either shop online or use curbside pick up to retrieve their items. However, Best Buy also received a boost in sales during the pandemic as more and more people were pushed to do remote work and therefore had to purchase equipment such as laptops and monitors in order to work at home.
Best Buy's revenue has been relatively flat over the past decade. In 2011 the company brought in $50 billion in revenue and over the following 8 years revenue hovered around $40 billion. The management of Best Buy has been working consistently to improve the customer experience both in stores and online in order to compete with online retailers such as Amazon.

GAP
Gap Inc. had a substantial fall in income and revenue in 2020 as a large number of their stores had to be closed down and malls where their stores are located attracted less traffic.
