Item 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

     On August 31, 1998, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated June 
21, 1998, as amended (the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), CompUSA Inc. (the 
"Registrant"), a Delaware corporation, acquired all the outstanding capital 
stock of Computer City, Inc. ("CCI"), a Delaware corporation, from Tandy 
Corporation ("Tandy"), a Delaware corporation, for a purchase price of 
$210,950,000.  The purchase price, which is subject to certain post-closing 
adjustments, consisted of (i) a subordinated promissory note (the "Seller 
Note") in the principal amount of $136,000,000 and (ii) a cash payment of 
$74,950,000.  The principal of the Seller Note is payable to Tandy in 14 
equal semiannual installments during the period beginning December 31, 2001 
and ending June 30, 2008.  Interest on the Seller Note accrues at a rate of 
9.48% per annum and is payable semiannually each June 30 and December 31 
beginning December 31, 1998.  The Seller Note ranks pari passu with the 
Registrant's outstanding 9 1/2% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2000 and is 
subordinated in right of payment to the Registrant's senior indebtedness.  

     The purchase price was equal to the net book value of CCI on the closing 
date, as adjusted in accordance with the Stock Purchase Agreement, less 
$48,700,000.

     The acquired operations include 96 retail stores located in the United 
States, 58 of which the Registrant currently intends to close; seven retail 
stores in Canada, none of which the Registrant currently intends to close; 
and six corporate sales and/or training offices, five of which the Registrant 
currently intends to close.  The Registrant also acquired a call center and 
technical configuration center located in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, both of 
which the Registrant currently intends to operate.  The acquired stores in 
the United States will operate under the Registrant's name, while those in 
Canada will be operated under the "Computer City" name.  All of the acquired 
stores that will be operated by the Registrant will continue to offer 
personal computers and related products and services and will be converted to 
the Registrant's format and merchandise mix.

     The foregoing is qualified by reference to the Stock Purchase Agreement, 
which is filed as an exhibit to this Report and incorporated herein by 
reference.
