Last CompUSA Stores to Close
by possibly noteworthy at 10:53 pm EST, Dec 10, 2007 |
Mexican telephone and retail magnate Carlos Slim, in a rare defeat, will exit the U.S. consumer electronics market, shutting the last 100 CompUSA Inc. stores after sinking about $2 billion into the business.
I was just in a CompUSA recently and had no idea they were in the death throes. |

As much as people I know complained about how crappy CompUSA was when it was still in Atlanta, people defiantly notice when it is gone. All the Microcenters and Fry's are spread out into the suburbs, and all the mom & pop stores are sparse and scary. The "Gotta have ____ right now" has me going to places like Office Depot, Best Buy, and the urban (read: "reduced sized") Wal Mart ... with Office Depot tending to have the best selection. Fry's (one on I-85 in Duluth) is just to far to roam for small part and pieces (traffic can get bad during those times of the day); but a late afternoon pilgrimage with friends to Fry's followed by hitting up one of the nearby boxed franchise restaurants can turn into a decent nerdy social night outing (Maybe even some quick tailgatting and pregaming when we get there). |

That's news to me, too. freakn wrote:

I wish we had a Fry's here in Nashville, but the closest one is in Georgia. :( |
