Computer City was a chain of computer superstores operated by Tandy; the retailer were sold to CompUSA in 1998 and liquidated.

Computer City was a supercenter concept featuring name-brand computers, software and related products; by the end of 1993, Tandy had 40 locations, including three in Europe.

The stores closely resembled CompUSA's super center concepts, but lacked the financial backing CompUSA had. CompUSA, having a larger market share, bought the company, and in the process, shut down one of its smaller competitors. 

This take over was slightly more successful than the future take over of Good Guys, however, it still signals CompUSA's initial decline and eventual privitaization by Carlos Slim
