CompUSA To Close All Stores

An anonymous reader writes "Mexican telephone and retail magnate Carlos Slim, in a rare defeat, will exit the US consumer electronics market, shutting the last 100 CompUSA Inc. stores after sinking about $2 billion into the business. Gordon Brothers Group, a Boston-based retail store liquidator, will oversee a piecemeal sale of the Dallas-based business, the company said in a statement. Financial terms were not disclosed. Stores will remain open through year-end under the supervision of Gordon Brothers, which will also negotiate the sale of real estate and other assets."

In my view, Fry's is like Wal*Mart, but for electronics (with a few other items thrown in). The stores are absolutely GINORMOUS, usually very busy, and there is quite a selection.

What the hell is Fry's?

And yes, CompUSA is the only computer store that I know of within my state.
