Judge Rejects MP3.com Claim Against Universal

PROFILE |
 |
Universal International isn't quite as ubiquitous as its name suggests -- actually, the discount retailer does business only in the US. The firm peddles closeout merchandise through about 65 stores under the names Only Deals (in the Midwest and Texas) and Odd's-N-End's (in upstate New York). Its stores feature brand-name closeout merchandise, including food, health and beauty aids, housewares, seasonal goods, and toys. The company quit the wholesale business in 1997. Parent company 99 CENTS Only Stores, which operates about 85 discount retail stores in Southern California and Nevada, is trying to find a buyer for Universal International. 99 CENTS Only Stores acquired Universal International in 1998.
