GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
This CompUSA passport cover pairs travel with a memory from the age when buying a computer meant visiting a sprawling technology superstore. From its 1984 Soft Warehouse beginnings in Addison, Texas, CompUSA grew into a national name in computers, electronics, and services before its later Systemax and TigerDirect chapter. It makes a fitting travel companion for technology collectors, frequent flyers, and fans of American retail history.
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.
