CEO Ronny Shmoel purchased the brand from Systemax in October, Twice Magazine reports, and will launch the revamped retailer in the Dallas market in June. The stores will sell tablets, video game systems, drones, 3D printers, and smartphones, in 2,000- to 4,000-square-foot stores. The company hopes to open 50 to 100 stores later in the year, the Dallas Morning News reports.
