MIAMI, Fla. (November 24, 2009) – CompUSA® today announced the opening of its newest store in Aventura, Florida. This is CompUSA’s fifth store in greater Miami, 18th in Florida, with approximately 40 staff members, and is fully integrated with “Retail 2.0®,” CompUSA’s powerful new shopping method.

“CompUSA has tremendous momentum in Miami. Two store openings in the area in less than two months reflect the fact that local residents just can’t seem to get enough of our great deals on computers, HDTVs, components, and other consumer electronics.”

The Aventura store is fully integrated with Retail 2.0, CompUSA’s pioneering concept which empowers shoppers by placing the internet at arms’ reach on nearly 300 screens throughout the store, from laptops to desktops to HDTVs. With a single touch, consumers can access full product information including image galleries, product manuals, customer reviews, price comparisons, compatible products available in-store, and even video demonstrations.

“We are pleased to have this location Retail 2.0-enabled from the very beginning, and we anticipate that our Aventura customers will find this new shopping experience to be both empowering and fun,” he added.

The new CompUSA store is now open for business at 17641 Biscayne Boulevard, Aventura, Florida 33160. The Aventura store will be open extended hours on Friday, November 27, from 5am – 10pm as part of the “Pink Friday®” day-after-Thanksgiving sale. The other 26 CompUSA locations will be open extended hours for the event, as well.

The latest addition, located here near Fort Lauderdale, is the first CompUSA store to be built to the company’s new Retail 2.0 spec. The interactive platform links product displays to dedicated Web pages, allowing shoppers to glean detailed product information from dedicated computer terminals. Three other Florida stores, in Miami-Dadeland, Plantation and North Lake, were previously converted to Retail 2.0, and Systemax plans to retrofit the remaining 12 Florida locations by years’ end.

“Our opening of the new Pembroke Pines location is a reflection of overwhelming demand from our Floridian customers. The Pembroke Pines outlet is the first CompUSA store to be Retail 2.0-enabled from day one, in the spirit of providing more South Florida computer and electronics shoppers with an in-store experience not available anywhere else, with unbeatable prices to boot.”

The new Pembroke Pines CompUSA is located at 10121 Pines Boulevard, Pembroke Pines, FL 33026
Hours of operation are Monday – Friday 10AM – 9PM; Saturday 9AM – 9PM; Sunday 10AM – 6PM
