PROFILE |
 |
CompUSA needs to reboot. Computer sales at the nation's leading computer retailer have stalled, and the company has been sold to Mexico-based retailer Grupo Sanborns. CompUSA has about 225 stores that sell hardware (including its own brand of PCs), software, and accessories in more than 40 states. CompUSA also has a direct sales operation targeting corporate, government, and education customers. The retailer has been battered by direct computer sellers (such as Dell Computer and Gateway), PC price wars, and its purchase of rival (and unprofitable) Computer City stores. CompUSA sells online, but has shut down subsidiary cozone.com, an e-tailer that suffered from sluggish sales.
