What Happened to CompUSA

I remember when CompUSA opened their first New Jersey location. I entered the store with great excitement and fear. I wondered at the time what computer superstores would do to the business computer services market.

Small Merchants Gain Large Presence on Web

The New York Times reported today in an article by Bob Tedeschi that small businesses are gaining ground on the web.

"MOM-AND-POP retailers have helplessly stood by over the last decade as big-box merchants steamrolled over them. Online, though, small merchants are not going down without a fight."

This is encouraging news for small business owners as again in 2007  online shopping sales on Cyber Monday again topped sales in physical stores on Black Friday, this year by 38 percent, according to comScore, an e-commerce research firm. Reports CIO Magazine.
