CompUSA Stores Open Thanksgiving Evening, Giving Shoppers Jump-Start on Holiday Savings

Gift Guide III

DALLAS Giving a technology gift without the proper accessories is like giving a toy without batteries. This holiday season, CompUSA is helping shoppers make sure their gifts are ready to use immediately after the gift is opened. CompUSA’s online and in-store TechToyland is designed to take the accessory guesswork out of technology gift giving, with helpful tips and savings.

But the help doesn’t stop there. CompUSA is launching its re-branded and enhanced technology services program, CompUSA TechPro. With its force of more than 12,000 experienced and qualified technicians, CompUSA TechPro has a 98 percent customer satisfaction rating. CompUSA TechPro technicians are already in action helping consumers in their homes, at their businesses, online and in CompUSA stores.

“We understand that time is precious during the holiday season and we want to provide consumers with all the gift giving tools and services possible so they can spend more time with family and friends,” said Ellen Miller, acting chief marketing officer, CompUSA. “This is a wonderful time of year and it only gets better when you add in popular gifts at great prices with top-notch technical help.”

Thanksgiving Day Shopping

In addition to great service and value throughout the season, CompUSA, for the first time in the company’s history, is giving consumers the chance to relieve Thanksgiving cabin fever by opening its doors on November 23 from 9 p.m. to midnight in stores across the continental United States including Hawaii and Alaska. Stores in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey, South Carolina and Puerto Rico will have varying hours on Thanksgiving Day, to adhere to local laws.

The new Thanksgiving hours give shoppers the ability to get a jump-start on Black Friday shopping and bring home great deals that night. All the stores will re-open at 5:00 a.m. on Black Friday, with additional savings during a special 7-hour sale from 5 a.m. to noon.
