By Peter Healy, The Stamford Advocate, Conn. Knight Ridder/Tribune Business News

Nov. 8--A Best Buy electronics store that its parent company originally planned to open early next year in Norwalk is set to welcome shoppers in less than two weeks.

Minneapolis-based Best Buy said yesterday it will open the 45,000-square-foot store at 330 Connecticut Ave. -- where the Wiz electronics store had been - on Friday Nov. 21.

In May, Best Buy, the nation's largest consumer electronics chain, said it would open the Connecticut Avenue story in 2004.
