Buy More

From Chuck Wiki

Buy More is the electronics store where Chuck and Morgan work. According to Chuck, the address of their local franchise store is 9000 Burbank Boulevard [1] in Burbank, Calif. (In reality, this address does not exist; addresses along this street in Burbank proper top out at 4300s, and then jump to the 10300s just over the line in the North Hollywood community of Los Angeles on the Los Angeles city street grid.) If Jeff's "resume" is to be trusted, he has worked at the Burbank BuyMore for 18 years, since it opened—or 1990.

In its trademark green and yellow colors, the store's motto is: "When you buy more, you save more. And when you save more, you can buy more. And when you buy more, you save more. It all starts when you BUY MORE." [2] Along with the regular sales staff, the "greenshirts," the store's tech support staff in white shirts and ties is dubbed the Nerd Herd, with a small fleet of lettered and logo'd cars for service calls.

The store is an actual CompUSA store with the logos and signs changed. It is an obvious broad parody of the blue-and-yellow BestBuy chain with its "Geek Squad" corps of tech support.

In reality, as a filming location the store's exterior shots in all of the episodes, except for the pilot, are of the Mervyn's at Fallbrook Center in West Hills, Calif.

Buy More's main competitor is Large Mart, which has a franchise in the same shopping complex. (A Costco in the same shopping center as the Mervyn's/"BuyMore" is likewise used as the LargeMart exterior.)

There is a Bennigan's chain restaurant across the street from BuyMore. [3]
