[edit] Added "CompUSA Network" Info
I added some more information on the loyalty program, straight from somebody who's been at CompUSA for three years. Sentences may need some grammar cleanup as I'm not too good with these things. Gangis 03:53, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
I updated the info on this sub-topic, as an employee of the company for over 3 years. This is the most current info that I have in my e-mails, however as things change and the program is brought back on-line, I will update the page again. Thanks! 198.22.121.110 15:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
The CompUSA Network program will not be re-instated. Don't ask me how I know this, I just do. The memo came down this morning. Edit Centric 00:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Added closures to timeline
I've worked for them for two years and we just got a company e-mail on Thursday, August 3rd, that announced that 15 more stores are being closed all across the country, including a bunch in the state I live.
Here is the article to prove it: Dallas Morning News
We're scared to death in the store we're in. User:Tabascoman77 04:29, 5 August 2006
- They're definitely closing stores in California. I was driving by a local CompUSA in San Jose this afternoon and saw a "Total Liquidation Blowout" banner on top of it. I went in because I'm planning to get some more computer stuff soon. The people working there looked quite glum. I don't know what's happening in Texas, but in California, there are too many electronics/computer stores in Silicon Valley; we have a lot of Fry's Electronics, Best Buy, and Circuit City stores. --Coolcaesar 04:59, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I actually just quit CompUSA after two years. I'm not working for them anymore. I've had it. Their management sucks, their methods leave much to be desired, and they're losing workers (not to mention loads of cash) by the dozen. I live in San Jose, too, just down the street from the now-defunct Steven's Creek location. To be honest, I don't think the company will be alive much longer. The death of the Network for Business program is yet another sign that CompUSA is a fledgling company. I am GLAD to get out, lemme tell you.

[edit] Removed Carlos Slim in article
Removed "After months of bad news from CompUSA, Carlos Slim visits the CompUSA headquarters for nearly a month, revamping nearly the entire upper level management team, and setting new guidelines for the store to follow." It was edited to state that he visited the corporate headquarters and helped remove Tony Weiss. The link that was used to cite this said nothing about Slim or him revamping. 198.22.121.110 23:34, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Fixed punctuation and sentence structure in timeline
Fixed the line about 15 stores closing in 2006, removing two commas and adjusting the sentence structure. tabascoman77 05:05, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Removed "Bankrupty" section
Pure speculation, and personal opinion. Section was not backed up with any sources or facts
[edit] 126 Store Closings
Has anyone been able to find an article or publication stating the list of 126 stores to be closed? Denki 13:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I have corrected the closings info for this article. The closing stores' inventory has NOT been purchased by Gordon Brothers, CompUSA has instead elected to retain the inventory while Gordon Brothers acts as liquidation facilitator. Edit Centric 00:52, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
- I live on Long Island, and I got word from an employee that all LI locations were closing. I added the info into the article. I also learned of the reason. - PGSONIC 20:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
