Systemax, owners of TigerDirect.com, have acquired the brand, trademark, e-commerce business, and as many as 16 retail stores from the soon to be (thankfully!) dead CompUSA. Does this mean we could be seeing some TigerDirect stores poping up in the near future?
Will it be enough to take on BestBuy, Circuit City, or Frys? One thing is for sure, they’ll have to try hard to be half as bad as CompUSA. It’ll be interesting to see what happens, though I doubt the 16 locations would include Knoxville.
