CompUSA history
CompUSA company history timeline
2000:Grupo Sanborns completes acquisition of CompUSA.
Crushed by competition from other brick-and-mortar retailers, corporate oversight which was out of touch with evolving market realities, and a failure to make a strong transition to online sales, CompUSA began closing what they classified as "low performing" locations in 2006.
By 2008 only 16 locations were left to be sold to Systemax.
In 2012, remaining CompUSA and Circuit City stores were converted to TigerDirect stores, and later closed.
