Wow....all of the CompUSA's around Atlanta (4 or 5 I think) are closing down.
I'm starting to wonder about the general economy. There seems to be lots of retail failures in the greater Boston area.
Next to Harvard Square there's 38,000 sq. feet of retail space which is gutted and advertised for rent. Solomon Pond mall has a bunch of boarded-up storefronts (including Cambridge Soundworks). Now CompUSA is closing up it's New England locations.
Canary in a coalmine?
Near me they're also facing competition from lots of other B&M stores as well, like Fry's, the more traditional consumer electronics big boxes (Best Buy, Circuit City) and even the plain old big boxes like Target and Wal Mart. As computers become mainstream, you no longer need specialty stores for the basics. Why go to CompUSA when I can get my thumbdrive at Target even cheaper?Possibly feeling the pressure from online retailers who only need a warehouse and shipping department vs a fancy looking store that has expensive rents?

That might be part of it.
But in the Boston area, it seems to be a general retail meltdown - the types of stores that are closing run the gamut - CD/DVD, clothing, card shops, electronics, computers, etc.
And now the Natick mall is having a huge expansion - seems like bad timing.![]()
Stupid question, but how do you know which stores are closing? I did a search on their website for store locations and all of the ones in this area still show up.
Looks like the Omaha, Nebraska store has closed. The link site says they have no stores in Nebraska. They did a couple of months ago. Oh well, we did get a new Apple store in December.
