Just when you thought that CompUSA was done, Systemax (Owner of Tigerdirect) bought the rights to the brand CompUSA.com, trademarks, website and 16 stores for $30 million sometime last week. This comes a month after being sold to the liquidation firm Gordon Brothers Group. Systemax has announced they will reopen 15 stores, 13 of which are in Florida.
Then, today Best Buy took over 17 leases of CompUSA locations totaling 453,000 square feet for $13.5 million. The leases range in time lines of 3 to 14 years.
