CompUSA closing 126 U.S. stores

Com­puter retailer Com­pUSA is clos­ing about half of its US stores as part of a major restruc­tur­ing aimed at mak­ing the chain more prof­itable. Rochester looks like it will retain its Com­pUSA but some larger metro areas, like Atlanta, will be left with none. Com­puter retail is a tough busi­ness, with low mar­gins and tough com­pe­ti­tion from other stores like Cir­cuit City and even tougher com­pe­ti­tion from Inter­net ven­dors like Newegg. Is this the begin­ning of a trend?
