Almost all of their mid-to-late 1980s store merchandise and promotional items prominently featured "Discount" in smaller text or tucked tightly between "Egghead" and "Software" In the early 1990s, the company underwent a major corporate rebranding, shortened its name officially to just Egghead, Inc.
