Here's their 11/03/08 media kit on the store closings http://newsroom.circuitcity.com/announcement.cfm
@acknight:
well the Nyack mall looses another large store. That mall has so much unused space it's silly.
At least my wife will be happy. The union square CC is one of her fav bathrooms to use when she is in the area.
I know this is a crazy theory, but I just noticed that both of my CC's that are closing are adjacent to Best Buy's. Granted, you could be facecious and claim that every Circuit City is next to a Best Buy, but I've seen some that aren't... and, well, they aren't closing. I wonder if they closed them down because of the inability to be totally competitive.
@csdiego: Oops, looks like strikethrough doesn't work in these comments. Strike through "Satan" in the comment above.
@bohemian: I noticed that too! If my mac ever broke (heh), I'd be quicker to send it to a small parts shop... there's no way they could screw it up more than best buy or circuit city.
@mbd: I'm sure it's cheaper to pay a lease on an empty building than have a full-on store at that location losing money every day.
Business is bass-ackwards at times, ain't it?
I wonder if this had anything to do with the phonecall I got Friday - I got a call from CCity about an employment 'fair' for seasonal employees (for christmas) asking me to be there Sunday at 5pm (Fairview Heights, IL store). I was not able to make it - but strange that this call came the same weekend the store started to sink. Maybe they were hiring the 'clearance crew'.
@skitzogreg: The Circuit City in Sugar Land, TX is not closing, and it's within half a mile of a Best Buy.
I was always surprised the McLean, VA location on Chain Bridge stayed open as long as it has - they opened a brand new location less than a mile away from that one about two years ago. Granted the one on Chain Bridge is part of the Tysons Corner Center complex, but I still couldn't believe they left it open that long.
At least I'll still have a place to get emergency power supplies .. nothing closing in Utah ..
Consumerist got mentioned on cnn.com about this also ..
@skitzogreg: Every single Circuit City in my area (Sacramento) is within one mile of a Best Buy, and none of them are closing. CC just opened a new location less than three months ago in Folsom.
@FSugino: That is quite surprising to me considering that place is a craphole. I would have thought that one would be closing down as well...oh well.
@SgtBeavis: DFW is a leading region in the retail industry due to huge growth over the past several years. Best Buy has opened over 20 stores in DFW in the past year alone. This is one area where Circuit needs to compete. Also, in terms of the economic meltdown, it's one of the less affected areas.
@pjsammy: Heck, the one here in Warner Robins, GA hasn't even been open a year. I bet it still has the new carpet smell.
Geez. No wonder the one in Tally is closing. I went in Tuesday to get Fallout 3. Signs your business is bad.
Empty parking lot.
6 people, 3 at the phone desk, 2 at customer service.
When looking for the game, where do you think I head? The game section. I look around, see nothing but old "Coming soon" games that came out a month ago. I do find a Fallout 3 Strategy Guide. Maybe it has the location of the game.
Another person quickly walks by the game section and enters a locked door.
I give up finding it, go to the front desk. I ask about the game after waiting 3 minutes. Normally, this isn't too bad, but the store has NO customers. Seriously. And no one can answer me?
I ask for a copy of Fallout 3 for PC. She asks "Which game. Far Cryout 3?" "Um....no. Fallout 3 for PC." "Oh, I've got it for XBOX 3 and PS360." ".....None for PC?" "I don't think so." "Ok, thanks."
Went down the street to a Best Buy doing brisk business and got a copy from the computer games section. Good riddance CC.
@mbd:
Give it 90 days or so & they will file Chapter 11.
It will depend on December's sales or lack of.
@skitzogreg: The four cloest to me in MA aren't closing (in fact, it looks like none in MA are) and three of them are all pretty close to a BB. Does anyone know how they determined which stores would be closing? I would have expected at least one near me would be.
@FSugino: Not surprising...it's a prime retail spot that they'll give up last. The store sucks but they know that you can still get traffic from the mall.




















Damn; mine's closing.
I guess I'd be heartbroken if I ever went there.
