Best Buy Co. began offering fitness equipment in select markets as the retailer tries to expand its wares beyond electronics.
“At first glance, it seems like a real stretch,” said Anthony Chukumba at FTN Equity Capital Markets.

Best Buy spokesman Steve Trier said the fitness equipment was a natural for the company’s customers who were trying to work out.
