Computer Mania has acquired gomaxx., expanding its entire Apple offering and enabling it to offer superior Apple repair and upgrade services, and high quality pre-owned Apple products.
Computer Mania has successfully acquired gomaxx., South Africa’s leading pre-owned Apple retailer.
The acquisition, which was completed on 1 June 2024, has resulted in gomaxx. being incorporated into the Computer Mania Group.
This allows Computer Mania to improve its Apple service and product offerings by providing customers with a wide selection of pre-owned Apple devices and in-demand services, such as repairs and upgrades.
Following the acquisition, the Computer Mania Blue Route store is also being expanded and rebuilt to incorporate a full gomaxx. retail centre within the Computer Mania store. This will allow customers to have an all-inclusive experience, from being able to shop and trade new or pre-owned Apple devices, request upgrades and repairs and get expert advice. The competitive advantage of the acquisition is the trade-in aspect, which allows customers to trade in Apple devices for cash, or a voucher.
“We are excited to welcome the gomaxx. team to the Computer Mania group,” says Computer Mania CEO Jandré de Milander.
“In our stated mission to meet and exceed current and future trends, we continually look for ways to increase our offering and service to our customers,” continues De Milander.
What makes the Computer Mania and gomaxx. collaboration unique is the seamless integration customers will experience between the stores. When trading in a device at gomaxx. you have the choice of receiving cash, a trade-in voucher, or trade-up voucher that can be redeemed in both Computer Mania and gomaxx. stores, giving consumers access to a comprehensive catalogue of the latest technology.
“Computer Mania is a leading brand in the technology retail sector, and this partnership allows us to expand our brand and tap into their client base,” says James Taylor, gomaxx. managing director.
“We are confident that this investment will contribute to the continued expansion of the Computer Mania Group,” concludes De Milander.
