Circuit City closings
« on: November 05, 2008, 03:27:57 PM »
Not sure if any of you have heard about this yet but Circuit City is closing 150 stores nationwide.  Should be some nice deals if you are nearby. 
List
Unfortunately there are no PA stores in the list but there are 3 in Maryland for you southerly Fites members.
Never, but never question the engineers judgement.

And what I find funny is that they recently opened ANOTHER one around here.

Well the 150 wasn't an exact number.  I was just trying to get something close.

They filed for Chapter 11 so there will probably be more stores closing in the future.  Personally I think their service sucks, I've had a few problems with a surround sound system that they ultimately said they couldn't repair only to give me a new one that was less expensive than the one I originally purchased.  Thankfuly it's lasted 3 years now :)  I think the only reason Best Buy hasn't destroyed Circuit City in sales is their stupid restocking fee. 

I give CC 6 months, if they don't pull out of CH11 in 6 months they will dissolve.

According to this article (http://consumerist.com/5083225/circuit-city-gets-a-loan-lives-to-fight-another-day) Circuit City got a loan that will assist them until they recover from bankruptcy.

I think they are still closing stores and downsizing, but in the end it looks like Circuit City will still be around.

I've had so many bad experiences there, I've vowed never to go back to that one.  I fully intend to stick to that too.

no way...their prices are so low and their staff is so knowledgable.  Lets face it they are the red bestbuy.
