Cya Comp-USA!

The Consumerist is reporting that CompUSA will be closing over 100 stores.

While this isn't surprising to most as their sales have suffered tremendously, it is a little sad for me. I worked at CompUSA in Framingham, MA while in college (one of the stores being closed) and unlike many retail stores actually worked for some very very good managers that taught me lessons in both work and life that I carry with me to this day some 8 years later.

I am not trying to kid anyone here, CompUSA itself as a whole was run horribly which made all the good folks leave, but there were good folks there.

I also forged some great friendships there, not just work friends, but people I will be friends with for the rest of my life.

So while the liquidation folks are headed in and marking everything up 150% so they can mark it down 75% I wish store 327 farewell and thanks for the memories.
