The Best Buy store in Wilton is not on the list of the 50 stores the chain will close by the end of the year, according to a news release put out by the company today.

Best Buy announced earlier this year it would close 50 locations, and had identified eight of the stores. The remaining 42 were announced on Saturday, with the only New York state location on the list coming from NYC.

In addition to the Wilton store, Best Buy has another Capital Region location at Crossgates Mall.

We received an anonymous phone call earlier in the week from someone who said they thought the local store was on the closure list. We checked on it, but Best Buy's corporate spokespeople wouldn't tell us at that time whether or not it was true. And now we know it's not.
