Wow, they lasted about 23yrs. I remember the first one in Dallas/Addison, think it was called SoftWarehouse or something like that.

Yeah, I remember that one too and had forgotten it was the first one. It was on Marsh Lane, north of Beltline as I recall.

I remember SoftWarehouse in Addison back in the 80s - thanks for the info.

The first store was on Beltwood Pkwy in Addison, then moved to a store next to Fullers Jewelry at Marsh and Beltline.

There were time the Addison Fire Marshall shut the doors to additional customers due to overcrowding.

Errol Jacobsen and Mike Henoshowitz were from South Africa and seemed to truly love the US.

It seems that the seeds of their death was the purchase of Computer City and absorbing the real estate leases. Sucked the life out of the cash flow.

Nathan Morton collected his money and left, after populating management with his relatives. He valued loyalty over experience.

BTW, by the time that the liquidators take over, all of the inventory will have been sold. The liquidators try to maximize their profit so great deals are rare.

If a store had a good manager and a couple of good reps then customers loved them.

If not ...

Oh, my gawd. I think I bought my first computer from Softwarehouse. A 286 back in 1989.

Re: Soft Warehouse... yep... I bought a few pieces of software at that store... parking lot was always packed.
