Earlier this year, Circuit City announced a handful of store closings in the United States along with 60 more in Canada. Today electronics retailer CompUSA is following suite, but more drastically. The company announced that it is closing 126 stores nationwide (DOC) leaving just 109 stores in 39 states and Puerto Rico.
As sad as it may be (is it sad?), this is not that surprising. I can’t recall the last time I went to a brick and mortar store for anything, except blank media. Most of the time you can get a better selection online, for cheaper, and without the hassle of pushy salespeople.
