Circuit City is Closing, Liquidating


I know most of us here on this site probably don't shop there, but what impact other than the obviously painful loss of jobs. How does this bode for the other stores? More and better sales?
Thoughts?

I went in to Circuit City just before Xmas for a game for my grandson and checked the audio rooms out. It looked as if they had already liquidated at this store. I won't go back looking for any deals.
A new company will come along to fill the void. Maybe two or three new companies.

It's the natural order of business.
Natural order of business...a not so unique way of saying, that 'they died', or 'the king is dead, long live the king'.
Was Circuit City the king?

I always thought Circuit City was a poor place to do business. It would not be
the monarch of a realm in which I would choose to live.

Stores like Circuit City are large scale box movers that are selling commodity
items. Customers for these items are shopping on price alone. Circuit City
couldn't compete on price, certainly didn't offer any value-added services
from the consumer's standpoint, and now they're gone.
