No.  That was never a CompUSA or CC.  The place is big and is more of a
warehouse than a storefront.  My guess is that TD ships a lot fomr
Jefferson, GA and decided this year to create a store front out of some
warehouse space.

I went today to help a friend pick out a router.  They had a good
selection of new vs refurb.  They also had a great selection on hard
drives and memory.  It is no Frys but it does have a great selection and
some decent pricing.
