What is "compusa"

CompUSA was a retailer and reseller of consumer electronics, technology products and computer services. Its headquarters were in Miami, Florida.

Until its reorganization, CompUSA, Inc. was a wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Commercial Corp S.A.B. de C.V. and indirectly controlled by a common shareholder, Carlos Slim.

On December 7, 2007, an affiliate of the restructuring and disposition firm Gordon Brothers Group, Specialty Equity, bought the company. Systemax purchased the CompUSA brand, 16 retail locations and other company assets in January, 2008.

Systemax operated CompUSA retail stores in Florida, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Delaware, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Puerto Rico, as well as CompUSA.com, a retail website and a dedicated catalog site for businesses.

On November 2, 2012, it was announced that Systemax would drop both the CompUSA and Circuit City storefront brands, consolidating their businesses under the TigerDirect brand and website.

In November 2013 the CompUSA intellectual properties were sold to JASALI 645 Realty LLC.
