CompUSA today unveiled the grand opening of its West Kendall
store, at 12200 North Kendall Drive (SW 88th Street), off of
Highway 821 in Southwest Miami. It marks the fourth CompUSA in the
greater Miami area, bringing the total number in Florida to 17 and
the national store count to 27. A ceremonial ribbon cutting, a
donation to the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation, and
store-wide specials will kick off the grand opening celebration,
all starting at 5:00 p.m. today.
“CompUSA is on a roll in South Florida,” said Gilbert
Fiorentino, Chief Executive of the Technology Products Group at
Systemax Inc., parent company of CompUSA. “This is our second store
opening in the area in less than a month, reflecting a groundswell
of customer demand for our low prices combined with our enormous
selection of computers, computer accessories, televisions and
consumer electronics, all driven by our revolutionary shopping
experience, Retail 2.0.”
The West Kendall CompUSA store is only the second CompUSA to be
fully Retail 2.0-enabled from day one, providing shoppers with the
convenience of online shopping, combined with the ability to
actually sample the product in-person.
“I am so pleased to open the West Kendall CompUSA with full
Retail 2.0 capabilities. Descriptions of this revolutionary system
can only go so far. Only a hands-on demonstration can really do it
justice, so I encourage South Floridians to just come on by and
experience it for yourself,” continued Mr. Fiorentino. “Separately,
we’re so proud to continue our tradition of engaging with and
helping local communities through this gift to Miami Children’s
Hospital Foundation.”
CompUSA is donating thirty Toshiba 26-inch high-definition (HD)
televisions to the Miami Children’s Hospital Foundation, to replace
their old TV sets; representing a $10,000 gift-in-kind. The HDTVs
will be distributed throughout the main campus buildings, as well
as the five ambulatory sites: Weston, Doral, West Kendall, Palmetto
Bay, and Miami Lakes.
The Miami Children’s Hospital West Kendall Center, at 13400 SW
120th Street, serves families in the community by providing
after-hours care for minor injuries and illnesses, outpatient X-ray
services and rehabilitation services. The Miami Children’s Hospital
Foundation is a not-for profit 501 (C) (3) established to create a
world-class pediatric hospital, with the principle that all
children deserve state-of-the-art pediatric care with no financial
boundaries.
