CompUSA said that they are closing stores “with low performance or non strategic, old store layouts and locations faced with market saturation“. It is questionable for CompUSA to pull out of a major market such as Southern California.
According to CompUSA store managers, they are expecting around 90 days to clear out their inventories. In general, they are offering 10%-20% for all the merchandise, as time goes on more discounts will be offered. One of the CompUSA stores is offering up to 50% off the sticker price.
