After CompUSA went out of business late last year, Ohio-based Systemax (which also owns TigerDirect) shelled out $30M to pick up the remnants. And now the company, or at least its name has risen from the grave, mostly in Florida.
CompUSA has re-launched, with a total of 17 stores as well as the website, 13 of the stores in Florida. Here's the list of stores, in fact:
Florida
* Altamonte Springs, FL
* Brandon, FL
* Clearwater, FL
* Deerfield Beach, FL
* Ft. Lauderdale, FL
* Ft. Myers, FL
* Jacksonville, FL
* S. Jacksonville, FL
* Miami Dadeland, FL
* Orlando, FL
* Palm Beach Gardens, FL
* Plantation, FL
* South Tampa, FL
Texas
* McAllen, Texas
* Plano, Texas
* EL Paso, Texas
Puerto Rico
* Guaynabo, Puerto Rico
Wow, Puerto Rico but no stores in Califiornia, particularly in Silicon Valley?
If you use PayPal, and spend at least $200, you can get 10% off, for a maximum of $20. Er, hey, CompUSA, why not just say $20 off anything $200 or more since customers are not going to get more than that? Ah, because it looks better, right?
CompUSA was once a high flyer, but couldn't keep up with stores such as Best Buy, Circuit City, and the like. Good luck to Florida.
