CompUSA to close Boston-area stores

CompUSA Inc. will close six of its seven stores in Massachusetts by May 31 as part of restructuring plan that calls for shuttering more than half of its stores, spokeswoman Jessica Nunez said tonight.

Chief executive Roman Ross cited ‘‘changing conditions in the consumer retail electronics market.’’

The company will focus on its top-performing locations and continue to sell computer equipment online and over the phone. In Massachusetts, the chain plans to close stores in Framingham, Woburn, Braintree, Danvers, North Attleborough, and Brighton. The Holyoke store will remain open.

The closings, involving 126 shops, will leave the chain with 103 locations.

CompUSA said in a news release that it will receive $440 million in additional capital in the restructuring.

Mexico City-based U.S. Commercial Corp., CompUSA’s parent company, is a holding company controlled by Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim. (Globe staff and wire services)
