Shopping time - Compusmart closing some stores
Sad to see - Compusmart is closing some stores (all in Toronto).
I was one of the first at Kennedy Commons when it opened. Great people but time marches on.
See you in line at the register.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just found out today that the Compusmart Express location in the Eaton Centre is now closed.
Now, I see that the Yonge and Richmond store is also closing. I was there when it first opened up and knew one of the business account managers there. Honestly, I don't know how CS stays in business because their prices are just not competitive.
And, last week, I found out that North Star Computers on Elm St. have also closed down.

I interviewed with them last year, and am thankful I didn't take a store manger job with them.
I love the whole "we couldn't compete" attitude. Sorry, but that often translates (and definitely does here) into "we couldn't get our act together".

There is an ad in today's paper announcing the closure and final sale of both Edmonton locations of Compusmart as well.

There is another CS in downtown Edm. Since it's not mentioned in the ad, I guess that one is not closing.
Just stumbled upon the news

I guess all Compusmart stores will be closing down or sold off eventually by the end of June.

Looks like "up to 30% off computers" but that could be a lousy 5-10% on macs.... who knows?
A full 30% off a Mac mini would be quite nice right now.... but I still won't have the cash until NEXT week.
