Description: Egghead Software was a hardware, software, and computer accessories store located in Bellevue, Washington, that eventually grew to a chain of over 200 locations. Egghead was founded by Victor D. Alhadeff in 1984 after he observed that the computer store experience was far too daunting for average consumers, His goal from the start was to make the experience less intimidating and more engaging. With its quirky cartoon mascot, Professor Egghead, and well-trained staff that could explain products in simple terms, Egghead was a hit with consumers. The company continued to expand with new locations throughout the '90s as part of the dot-com bubble, but when the bubble burst in 2000, things came crashing down and by 2001, it was all over.
