Clabretro is back with a long form interview with none other than Clabretro Sr (aka Brad Ausen)! He owned several computer stores as well as wholesale warehouses during the 90s into the 00s. Now mostly a relic of the past, locally-owned computer stores are such a huge part of our memories here at the Serial Port, as well as for many others who were lucky enough to experience that time period. This is a super fascinating and in-depth look into what it took to run a retail operation during this era.

Owning Computer Stores in the '90s

Learn what it was like to own and operate retail computer stores in the late 1990s and early 2000s. I interview my Dad, Brad Ausen, who owned four Computer Renaissance stores and two wholesale warehouses at the peak of his retail operation.
