PC City was a chain of computer superstores owned and run by Dixons Carphone, and was equivalent to the PC World brand, which operates in the United Kingdom & Ireland. (As of February 2016[update], the last PC City logo was identical – aside from the name – to the previous version of the PC World logo).
Previously, PC City had stores in several countries, but these are now closed:–
- Sweden – In 2009, the physical stores closed down. In August 2013, the online outlet switched to the Electro World brand.[1]
- France – In December 2001, the chain started with 2 stores, but closed all 9 stores in February 2007.
- Spain – In April 2011, the chain closed all 34 stores.[2] Most of the store were sold to Worten.
- Italy - The business was combined with UniEuro, which was merged with Marco Polo in 2013.[3]
