GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.
Give your phone a place at the desk with a foldable display stand honoring Incredible Universe. The chain arrived in the 1990s with enormous stores designed around discovery, demonstrations, and every corner of consumer electronics culture. Its theatrical approach made it more than a store for many guests. This useful desk accessory connects today’s daily technology with a memorable era of computer, music, video, and electronics retail history.
Incredible Universe was an American consumer electronics store chain that operated from 1992 to 1997. Conceived by former Tandy CEO John V. Roach, it was launched as a joint venture between Tandy Corporation and Trans World Entertainment after growth had stalled at Tandy's smaller electronics retail operations and personal computer business. The first two stores opened in Arlington, Texas, and Wilsonville, Oregon. Built as very large destination stores, a typical location combined about 185,000 square feet of sales floor and warehouse space and carried roughly 85,000 items. The concept used theme-park-inspired internal language, calling departments scenes, workers cast members, shoppers guests, and uniforms costumes. Stores centered on a rotunda with demonstrations and presentations, with electronics, computers, software, music, video, and accessory departments around it. Rapid expansion added 15 stores through 1996, but high operating costs and stronger competition hurt profitability. Six consistently profitable locations were sold to Fry's Electronics in 1996; the remaining chain closed or was sold between 1996 and 1997.
