From today's WSJ:

"Commodore International Ltd. said it signed up some large retail chains, 
increasing to approximately 1,200 from 800 the number of stores carrying its 
Amiga personal computer.

Commodore, West Chester, PA., said the retailers include Montgomery Ward,
Macy's of California, VideoConcepts, McDuff, Highland Appliance, Sun TV, and
Famous-Barr. Commodore added that it hopes to add more retailers by Nov. 15,
in time for the Christmas season.

Adding stores has been a major focus for Commodore in the US, because
while the Amiga has long been considered an impressive machine, 
it has suffered from lack of shelf space."
