CompUSA Bites the Dust

The medium-sized computer retail store chain CompUSA will be no more within a few weeks as larger and more powerful competition was too much for CompUSA to overcome. You can look for additional casualties in the electronics retail arena. Best Buy, Circuit City, and Walmart are monstrous behemoths that can and will eliminate any possible noteworthy competition within a surprisingly short period of time. Look for Microcenter and Radio Shack to join the long list of deceased electronics retailers before the end of this decade. Colorado is fortunate to have a couple of other options in Ultimate Electronics and The Big Picture as alternatives that may have enough to survive, at least for the short term.
