101 ce retailersSlight Increase Despite Sluggish Sales in 2012By Laura Spinale

t he retailers listed in Dealerscope’s registry of the top 101 ce retailers in the United states and canada rang up $233.49 billion in 2012, a mod-est 2.76 percent increase over the $227.22 billion earned in 2011. chained to a weak economy,

stubborn unemployment, sluggish sales and anemic stock performance, many ce retailers—including powerhouses such as Best Buy (1), staples (8), Gamestop (10), office Max (16), sears (19) and office Depot (23)—announced plans to close many bricks-and-mortar stores this year.

the slump has already claimed some smaller retailers. ritz camera and Image (#56) declared bankruptcy, for a second time, in the summer. It went out of business in the fall, shutter-ing most of its 300 stores. c&A Marketing Inc., a distributor of cameras, camcorders and accessories, acquired some of ritz’s assets, including the company name and website. It is also keeping about 18 stores open. vann’s (#75), an electronics and appliance player in the Montana market, also declared bank-ruptcy in 2012, and is now under new ownership. McMagic Partners LP, an arm of Khaledi Group, bought the business for $4.5 million.

other organizations re-trenching include Dell (#3), and cu-racao (#52). As of this writing, Dell ceo Michael Dell is trying to take the company private. (Dell’s United states/canada sales dipped an estimated 4.65 percent from 2011 to 2012).

curacao, meanwhile, long seen as a chain catering to the His-panic market, is trying to broaden its reach. this year, it dropped the article “La” from its name, and the primary language spoken by store staff has been switched from spanish to english. the chain also opened its 11th store in 2012, in tucson, Ariz.

MethodologyDealerscope researched virtually all large electronics retailers in the United states and canada—as well as hardware manufactur-ers selling direct to consumers—in order to devise its top 101 registry. Information on electronics sales, total sales, store counts, etc., was gleaned from readily available sources, including sec filings, Hoovers listings, corporate press releases, corporate homepages, various electronic business databases, as well as the local press covering the businesses in question.

Dealerscope contacted each retailer, giving each the opportu-nity to confirm or contest initial figures. Many confirmed sales estimates. However, some privately held companies refused to disclose sales information. other companies, both public and private, could not or would not break out ce sales from their overall merchandise mixes. Finally, some companies did not return telephone calls or emails. In these cases, Dealerscope chose to publish its best estimates.

All sales listed are reported on a calendar year, rather than fiscal year, basis. When listing ce sales we included electron-ics sales generated by companies’ corporate sales, as well as sales to governmental bodies and the educational arena. When listing overall sales, we have excluded revenues generated by the credit offerings at some chains, and other revenues only peripherally related to retail sales.

Finally, again to the best of our ability, we have excluded sales to regions other than the United states and canada. store counts cover only those venues in the United states and canada that actually sell consumer electronics. ce estimates include sales of pre-recorded media.

All sales and store count information should be considered Dealerscope estimates.

store count and sales include Best Buy, Magnolia A/v, Pacific sales, Best Buy Mobile and Geek squad stores in the U.s. Best Buy canada is covered elsewhere. In August, Hu-bert Joly was tapped to be the chain’s ceo; he'd previously served as ceo of carlson, a hospitality company that owns brands such as tGI Friday’s and carlon Wagonlit travel.

overall sales and ce sales reflect revenues in the United states and canada only. they exclude sales made from services, rather than products, in those regions. HP is said to be considering selling off its Autonomy and eDs businesses.

sales represent revenues from Dell’s Large enterprise, Public, small and Medium Busi-ness, and consumer sectors in the U.s. and canada only. Alienware sales are presented elsewhere in this registry. ceo Michael Dell is attempting to take the company private.

sales and store counts include U.s. opera-tions only. store counts exclude Neighbor-hood Markets. sam’s clubs and Walmart canada operations are covered elsewhere in this registry. the company is rolling out about 80 of its small-format “Walmart express” stores.

sales cover the company’s North American unit only. Kindle sales and associated con-tent continue to spur the huge increase in sales. Amazon has announced plans to open new fulfillment centers in Dupont, Wash.; tracy, calif.; and robbinsville, N.J., among other locales.

Apple computer retail storesAmong the company’s new stores is an out-let in Grand central terminal, New york city.

cDW corporationthe vast majority of cDW’s revenue comes from sales to business, government, educa-tion and the healthcare industry.
