GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Put computer-store nostalgia in motion with a CompUSA car magnet. This piece salutes the retailer that began as Soft Warehouse in 1984 and expanded from Texas into a national big-box destination for computers, electronics, and technical services. CompUSA’s story includes the Atlanta megastore, the launch of CompUSA.com, Apple in-store departments, and a later transition under TigerDirect. A bold road-ready collectible for PC enthusiasts, former employees, and retail-history fans.
CompUSA began as Soft Warehouse, founded in 1984 in Addison, Texas, by Errol Jacobson and Mike Henochowicz. Its first superstore opened on Marsh Lane and Belt Line Road in 1986, and national expansion began with an Atlanta megastore in 1988. Renamed CompUSA in 1991, the company became publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange and developed into a nationwide big-box retailer of computers, electronics, technology products, and services. It launched CompUSA.com retail sales in 1996, partnered with Apple Computer on in-store Macintosh departments in 1997, and acquired Tandy's Computer City in 1998. CompUSA acquired Good Guys in 2003 and later used the "CompUSA with Good Guys Inside" name in California and Hawaii. Store closures began in 2006. Specialty Equity acquired the company in December 2007, and Systemax purchased the brand, e-commerce business, technical services, and 16 locations in January 2008. In 2012, Systemax consolidated CompUSA and Circuit City storefronts under TigerDirect.
