Some fresh start..playnicee1 wrote: ↑ The track record is a fresh start though.
In an interview with industry daily Twice, CEO Ronny Shmoel said the launch was delayed because "his information-only corporate site had been 'inundated with visitors' in advance of the launch, and has already received hundreds of thousands of mailing list sign-ups," and that he wanted to beef it up so it wouldn't crash under the load on day 1.
There's no new date, just "shortly" per the article.
However, this isn't the first time its relaunch has been delayed. Shmoel bought the brand from retailer Systemax in 2015 and announced a relaunch for June 2016; that month, he announced a delay because it was "taking our time to get it right." No press release was issued this time.

Ahhhh Philip J. Schoonover! I was just reading about him, because he fired 3k of the most senior employees, one of the nails in their coffin. Last monday Barnes and Noble just pulled the same trick, firing their full time employees; we'll see if history repeats itself.explorer11 wrote: ↑ The ex ceo was a best buy exec before switch to circuit city.
