The company was headquartered in Brisbane, California in the Dakin Building in the early 1990s and subsequently in Alameda, California until it was bought in late 2003 by CompUSA. The Good Guys was founded in 1973 by Ron Unkefer on Chestnut Street, San Francisco. By 2006, all of the company's stores had closed. Re-launchAfter all The Good Guys stores closed, CompUSA began marketing all California and Hawaii stores as CompUSA with The Good Guys Inside in response to Best Buy's new marketing campaign with Magnolia Inside. However, this marketing campaign was dropped in an attempt to further separate CompUSA from the Good Guys name, and assist in launching its new Home Entertainment sections in select locations. The Good Guys name once again no longer existed in 2008 when CompUSA closed its remaining stores.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Extended warranties on televisions purchased through The Good Guys or CompUSA can still be accessed through General Electric Extended Warranties.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Hostage crisis{{Further|1991 Sacramento hostage crisis}}In 1991, one of the stores in the chain located in Sacramento was taken over by four armed robbers.
