PROFILE |
 |
Future Shop, Canada's leading consumer electronics retailer, has left its efforts to sell electronics in the US in the past. Future Shop owns and operates about 90 superstores in Canada, selling computers, office equipment, software, home audio and video components, CDs, appliances, and wireless communications products. The company also owns five Computer City stores in Canada and sells online. Besides home and office electronics, Future Shop offers software training and equipment repair and maintenance. Unable to compete south of the Canadian border, the company closed its two dozen stores in the Pacific Northwest in 1999. Founder, chairman, and CEO Hassan Khosrowshahi owns 70% of Future Shop.
