Purchase By Systemax
On May 19, 2009, it was announced that the Circuit City brand name, logo, and website had been purchased by Systemax Inc. for US$14 million, which had also previously acquired the CompUSA brand after the store chain's liquidation. Systemax relaunched the circuitcity.com website on May 22, 2009, as an online retailer of consumer electronics. The revived site's front page looks similar to the original front page, while other pages have a similar appearance and flow of Systemax's CompUSA.com and TigerDirect.com's pages. It sells the same products as the TigerDirect and CompUSA sites.

Famous quotes containing the word purchase:
“When thou, poor Excommunicate
From all the joys of love, shalt see
The full reward and glorious fate
Which my strong faith shall purchase me,
Then curse thine own inconstancy!”
—Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
