It's a Circuit City.
I bought my first PC's parts all from TigerDirect's website. Did a bunch of my research for it using their catalogue.
Nowadays I'm just happy to live an hour from a Microcenter.
TigerDirect eventually acquired the rights for the Circuit City name, years after the stores closed. They were great for awhile, it was just weird that they tried to revive the brand.
I bought my first PC parts at CompUSA, which... I don't think I've seen for a very long time lol. Definitely used TigerDirect when I was in college though.
TIL, thanks!
And TigerDirect also obtained the rights to the CompUSA name. That didn't last long in the retail space either.
In my town, TigerDirect resurrected the actual physical defunct CompUSA location and reopened it, and then that location tanked again shortly thereafter.
Apropos of nothing, our long-abandoned Circuit City building is apparently finally being revamped into... An Aldi. For fuck's sake.
