@turi319: Yeah!!! No SH$T! they make it SOUND like a deal, when in fact normally you can go to Fry's and get same product for less or same as THEIR (Liquidator's CC) sale price....so bring the REAL sales on, not the BS ones.

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

@Kaiser-Machead's Cookie-Powered LEGO Machine: Mark Twain?

GadgetPlay

@geiko: Mine Too, Vista, CA, but there is a Fry's right down the street and I never shop at CC anyway, but I'm sure they'll have a huge sale to deplete inventory most likely. So MIGHT check them out before the final locking of doors and wrecking ball starts swinging.

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

A couple of years ago the CC closed in my town. Just for the record, the sale was your typical 20% off inflated prices. Probably won't be any great deals to be had.

lburgguy

@Dr.Danger, Hasta la victoria siempre!: I wouldn't say "staying strong", I'd say they're "staying alive" at best.

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

@discounteggroll: Nothing! you get to relish in the fact that hundreds of people are going to lose their jobs because of this! Congratulations!

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

The one I go to is predictably on the list. I rarely go there, but I do check it out from time to time for good deals. They have so few customers per week that sometimes they knock off video games or movies to stupidly low prices (<$5) and they're still on the shelf weeks later.

@apeguero: I dont get how the one on pines and flamingo road is staying open. Every time I go there, the employees over populate the consumers 2:1. Ridiculous!

geiko

I miss Consumers Distributing. lol

General Halfshaftery

Hmmm my store is staying.

Froggmann

What, no PA? I thought at least one in Western PA would close, but there probably aren't that many over there anyway. Guess it's off to NJ I go.

twitch21

I live near the one in North Carolina. That sucks - they put in a truck radio for me!. On the plus side, Best Buy is almost right next door.

evangelistc01

Very sad...the one near my place is closing. I personally liked that place a lot better than my best buy. The people were nicer and they tend to have a better assortment of laptops, and lower prices on TVs...two items I would much rather buy in person rather than risk them being damaged during shipping.

GTgeek

@JDL1527:
Except that they are totally nuking what looks like ALL the Memphis, TN stores (those other TN sites are the extended Memphis metropolitan area and surrounding suburbs).

DoomGaZer

@TheDoomer: Ditto. They were reasonably good. I got in and out with my HDTV with a minimum of fuss. They even called around to find a 40GB PS3, even calling a best buy for us since they were out. The one I got my TV at is going to stay open, so I guess that's good.

Oirectine

@Eric 'Vote 4 Me' Alder:
Yeah they did. Check the abbreviation of the state (since the full names would completely reorder it)

DoomGaZer

ha! I knew the one in Compton, CA would close. It's smack dab in the middle of the ghetto and it's always busy. I work in Compton and I drove my little sister there to buy her a new DS charger since we were close by. During the entire timer we were there, I deliberately spoke really loud about fire sales and the demise of CC in front of the employees.

gg CC... gg

jcrockerman

If you take a close look at the locations you will see that Frys Electronics have a presence in most of the markets that Circuit city are closing, EG Phoenix, metro Atlanta, Texas, So Cal.

JDL1527

This is wonderful news. The stores in Oregon are to remain open. Now I can continue to use them as a price match source. If you really look, sometimes you'll a decent mid-range item at a lower price. Take that price over to Best Buy, and they'll match it. So not only do you take business away from Circuit City, you have Best Buy get less money from a sale. WIN/WIN.

deadhouseplantz

Wow, they build a brand new store in Arlington Heights, right across from Best Buy, in a crazy busy area, and they shut that down.
Not, that I care, no one goes to Circuit City...

(Also, I noticed they're pulling out of Cumming, Georgia)

mferrari

@Dr.Danger, Hasta la victoria siempre!: Yeah! And Braintree and Brockton, actually, all Massachusetts stores, and even better yet, Tax Free NH stores will remain open for now.

I have no opinion on CC. They've never treated me wrong and have always had whatever it was I was shopping for. I hate to see competition die. Be careful what some of you wish. The last thing we want is for BB to get stronger and less competitive!

apeguero

My wife and I passed a Circuit City this weekend and I told her to wave goodbye to it... It looks like we have two in my area and only one of them is closing. Ill have to check them out for some deals.

aprather

@Underpants Gnome: The one here in Cumming opened only a few months ago. New building in a new shopping center and everything. I wonder how many more on that list are new stores.

If it is any indication from the Linens&Things and CompUSA prices, there will be NO DEALS happening.

Liquidators don't give up the cash.

hefavitzen

Well, I wasted a lot of time over the summer. I worked for Circuit City over the summer, and I opened a new store. That store is being closed less then six months later. Great business decisions CC.

Turak

@NFLBLitze1: Yet you can get most grown up electronics for 500 elss than at best buy.

UncleArgyll

'Tis a sad day. I always hated Best Buy, but the alternatives have been dwindling. First CompUSA, now this.

Iron Sheep

I don't think that South Barrington store was even open yet, it was just built within the past couple months.

Underpants Gnome

will there be real deals, or more of that 20-30% off ridiculously inflated retail prices?

turi319

This should be interesting... Liquidators now own these stores and will be managing all sales from these stores. Will these Liquidators price stuff at "typical liquidation prices" (read: higher-than-fathomable) or will they actually compete with other local CC stores?

Might actually be possible to find a decent price on things!

ksat

Actually, I've never had any problems with my Circuit City, and it's where I got my HDTV. Which is disappointing because that same Circuit City is on that list. Oh well.

TheDoomer

Haha, the ones by my house is closing. Epic win!

Sweet, South Bay staying strong!

Dr.Danger, Hasta la victoria siempre!

w000000t bring on the deals, i hate circuit city anyways, i normally shop online to find the best deal, but if i need to shop for electronics i bring all my business to best buy, circuit city is just so unorganized and terribly ran

Huh, the trashy one near here is not on the list. I wonder how sucky an outlet would have to be in order to qualify for closure. Pretty danged bad, would be my guess.

JDisnidiet

@JDL1527: That does make sense, the Lubbock, TX store stays open, no Fry's in that market. Maybe Fry's is putting the heat on.

Tex1961

god I wish I had the money to splurg on this.

Lupison

@azccwm: Less competition from Best Buy in Tucson. Same thing happened when CompUSA was going belly up.

Lite

You know .. I actually like circuit city. They had one near me in Westfield, Indiana. The store was stupid because they picked a high price location, that was hard to get to and very few people went there. However due to issues I have had with Best Buy and the generally better deals at CC, I went there was I given a choice by price. If a DVD was the same price between the two places, I went to CC. If it was cheaper at BB, I went there. My money went to the lowest prices. I just think it is sad, as BB will have limited competition, and by doing that, you will only see prices go higher. I guess I will buy more online, versus at Brick and Mortar stores.

ZaltanaDadi

I feel sweet gadget deals coming on...

ALaterDayTD

What's the over/under for this crap ending up in a wootoff?

Lite

It seems odd that they would close ALL of the Phoenix stores, whereas Tucson looks to keep both of its CC stores. They will probably shutter them after Christmas.

azccwm

We got a bunch of stuff at LNT for 70%+ off. Sheets and stuff for spare bedroom etc. Store had pretty much been ravaged by that time though, and what was left for the most part I wouldn't have gone for at 90%.

TVGenius

They're closing 13 of the 16 Arizona stores, all of them in the Phoenix area, home to two Fry's. The two Tucson and ours in Yuma survived.

I'm fine with CC. I buy stuff there when I can make a better deal than with BB. I'm not driving 3 hours to Fry's.

TVGenius

WOW, no stores in PA. SHOCKED.

Ehrich Blackhound

@discounteggroll: Actually more like 1,000s Glad you are so stoked!!!!

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

@JDL1527: YEP!!! right down the road from me there's one, I don't go to "MY" C.C. anyways, Frys is far cheaper and more selection of other stuff as well, tools, components, wiring etc. etc. more of a one stop shop than going to Home Depot, then CC, then Radio Shack, then etc. etc. etc.

Oh, noes!

My CC is going bye-bye. It shall be missed.

Well its really nice of you guys to not be thinking of all the employees who are losing their jobs just before xmas...

And yes it seems to be a tradition in this country, a rather cruel one I might add, to layoff people just as the holidays hit.

Its always nice to know that the commenters are kind and caring people.

dOk

What a surprise, I will now be CC free for a good 50 mile radius. The last time I tried to give CC a chance, the item I got rang up at the wrong price and the cashier told me I had to go stand on the (rather long at the time) customer service line if i wanted the right price. Boy was he wrong :-P

thnkwhatyouthnk

This isn't the death of CC just yet. This is obviously a rebounder.

blachole

@Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass: I think we've officially moved into the 'thousands' territory. Unless most of these stores employ less than 8 people.

homerjay- Smiling politely

@hefavitzen: WRONG, not all liquidators operate that way! I got a sh!t load of deals at linens and things also! It's at their discretion to sell it off super cheap or not.

Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass

@apeguero: The Nashua, NH store is noticeably absent from this list. It is literally right next door to BestBuy, which made it easy to cross-shop prices on TV's and other things, but my shopping search never ended at CC, it was always BB.

rjp

@Iron Sheep: Comp USA sucked, CC okay, Best Buy not TOO bad, but don't go for their warranty BS, or Geek Squad nonsense. morons!!!!

That is a lot of big, empty real estate.

Lewis

They probably made a good choice on closing the North Avenue Chicago location. It's located right smack dab on the most hellishly stupid intersection known to mankind, which desperately needs a stoplight but doesn't have one. I'm willing to bet lots of people have passed it by because they don't want to spend a full 15 minutes just trying to make a left turn.

pantallicarox

There was a Circuit City in Compton? I'll bet Ice Cube and Easy E got systems for their cars there.

drewheyman

All of the locations I frequent are getting the axe. Guess BB is the only option now.

getabetterpic

Ten years ago I made all my big ticket purchases at CC. Always dealt with the manager and got better prices than the competitors. Then they dumbed down their inventory and changed policies. I found that Tweeter would still deal and price match. BB turned me off with their coupon deals; 10% off three DVDs, but only three of the SAME DVD.

The brand new Cumming, GA, store is gone as are all the CC stores in the metro Atlanta area. I visited it last month and found it was only a quarter the size of earlier stores. Selection really sucked.

But the good news is that I don't have to worry about those big ticket items any more. After 30+ years with a Fortune 50 company I've been laid off too. Welcome to the club CC and Tweeter.

/ and Cumming is a fine name for a town, seeing we're right next door to Sugar Hill and Ball Ground.

jcc703

How in the world is the one on Sepulveda in Culver City, Ca safe? That is by far the worst CC I have ever been to!

ahiser

Wow, that one in league city texas has barely been open for a month now. I hope they have some good deals.

dhaberer

The store in Collierville, TN has been open for only 6 months. Hilarious...

thesoundman

Man this sucks! I prefer Circuit City over the Evil that is Best Buy any day. Just been burned too many times to feel good about giving any money to Best Buy. I hate to see competition shrink, and I hate to see this happen as it means more unemployment... this is not good for society.

KungFu M0nk3y

What idiots. I can't imagine how much they spent on the brand new store they just opened in Hilliard, Ohio, only to close it 6 month later. Of course, it epitomized the failure that they are as a business. No advertising about the new store at all - I happened on it literally accidentally - and the giant marquee out front calls it "The City" so that if anyone had any doubts that it was a new Circuit City, they were quickly re-enforced. How many people driving by even knew it was a Circuit City? Not many, I bet.

But the outdated store in Dublin, Ohio, buried in one of the most aggravatingly high-traffic areas in the city, remains. (and I don't mean "high-traffic" in a good, lots-of-consumers way - I mean it in a I-don't-even-want-to-go-there way). Perfect.

Respectthebox

You know, if I shopped for electronics at a retail store I would be happy that mine is not on the list.

reddingofish

@Tex1961: FYI the list of stores in GA signify every single store in the Atlanta metro area. The nearest surviving store is in Rome, a 75 mile drive from downtown.

Huh. Neither of my local stores is on the list. Of course, they might have closed already. I never shop there.

Seems like Circuit City's pulling out of the NY Metro area. I'm sure Best Buy Execs are throwing a party somewhere.

@Respectthebox:

I just came to say basically the same thing. The Hilliard store (closest to me) never has anyone in it. And yes, the Sawmill store is maddening. If it weren't for trader joes and whole foods, I would NEVER go over that way.

Maced

@Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass: Some people find BB's customer service less than favorable and for that reason alone shop at other retailers.

phoood

They're closing 19 of 24 stores in Georgia and totally exiting the Atlanta market.

WB

wow like all of california! I'm going to Circuit City today!

analyticalmind84

My local store didn't make the list. I have never parked more than three spots from the door...

How F'n bad are the stores that are closing? Did CC watch Field of Dreams one too many times in years past instead of projecting possible sales/foot traffic?

palmy

@phoood:
It really depends on the Best Buy that you shop at. I got a laptop at one location and had no hassle. I got a desktop at another location, and when one guy failed to get me to pay the Geek Squad to _remove_ preinstalled software for me, he passed the sale off to another person who just tried all the same tricks on me. So, guess which location will never get another major electronics sale from me...

Purple Dave

hey the circuit city where i live is closeing guess i should head over there to look for some deals.

kswiss19

I used to work next door to a Circuit City. We would get a lot of their customers because they refused to help anyone unless you were buying a high dollar item like a television. People literally came in saying they coudln't get help. Simple things too, like buying a router. So I'm not surprised they are shutting down based on that experience. Although that particular one isn't on the list, which is oddly humorous

m-unit

I'm surprised none closed in the Sacramento, CA area...

T-Will

@hefavitzen: actually I got a few good deals at CompUSA like the game Gothic3 for $15 (was going for $40 at the time) and some DVD-R discs for like $10 for 50. So who knows what will happen...

dicknervous

One store in Nebraska, and it constantly gets crushed by BB.....yet it stays open. Just fold already, CC.

@mferrari:
Y'know, one of the two nearby locations is closing, and they are also right across the street (well, across the highway) from a Best Buy. The other one, which is staying open, is about a block away from a Best Buy. It'd be really interesting to see this list ordered by how close the doomed stores are to a Best Buy, Fry's or other major store that severely undercuts their prices.

Oh, and the only CompUSA in the area, which closed back in that big culling, was about a block away from the Circuit City that is now following suit.

Purple Dave

Wow they're only closing 2 in NJ.

I can't tell if that's good news or bad...

Jrsy is the dude, playin' the dude, disguised as another dude

@dOk: It's not like these are skilled workers with limited appeal within a specific trade. They hawk overpriced crap while wearing a red t-shirt. There's a million other stores in the area where they can do the same thing. I just hope they tell them "You're fired... Dog!". (Get it... firedog... heheh)

Maybe this will encourage some of them to go back to school or take that plunge and get a non-retail job. Either way, cruel tradition or not, the companies aren't in business to keep people employed. They are in business to make money. The real question I have is, how can you sell $3 cables for $80 all day long and still lose money???

Haha... Although I am happy that the Circuit City by my house is closing, I am sad by the fact the liquidators price will still be higher than prices at both Best Buy and Ultimate Electronics.

dang, the one in the Palisades Center Mall(2nd biggest mall in the US) is closing :( But we have made big purchases in Paramus, NJ...great store, good thing it's staying.

Tsumi91

wow, they really are closing the one by my house, fremont, ca

opazhman

@JDL1527: Not so in San Diego. Only one location has closed and that is 30-40 miles north of the city. There is one Best Buy and one Frys right near each other. The CC's are spread out in different neighborhoods and still probably do good business for those who dont want to drive into town to get to them.

thetunecatt

Closing all the Phoenix area stores and leaving the Tucson ones intact is a curious strategy. It is well known there is more money in 1/4 of Scottsdale than there is in all of Tucson.

Maybe the shoppers from Mexico make up the difference.

Like I say, curious.

Azogue

@NFLBLitze1: I agree. All I do is go to Circuit City or Best Buy and see what I want. Then I go buy it on either Ebay or Amazon or a similar site. If they lowered their prices to anything below MSRP ever they might have stayed in business.

I worked at Circuit City for 2 years and it was indeed unorganized. The only purchase I made there was to get a car stereo installed free when the stereo was on sale last week.

Best Buy is a joke too. Total rip off. People just chose Best Buy over CC because it was bigger and the appearance of the store was better.

thetunecatt

great both of the stores in kansas city north are closing! not that it matters i only went to one once. the ditzler store just opened last year! no more circuit city for me.

The Circuit City in town (Reno, NV) moved about 8 years ago to a new site. When they moved out, CompUSA moved in. Last year CompUSA went under and now Circuit City.

Not a single on in PA. Though the only competition here is BB anyway.

diacronic

@TheFooFighter: And don't expect them to forgive. They never forgive.

.king

@deadhouseplantz: Simply the market gaining better efficiency. Circuit City prices and service suck, consumers realize this, so they don't shop there. This doesn't happen overnight when the economy tanks, they've got to have revenue issues for months before they make these decisions. Now they're the excess fat being trimmed from the market.

It's the way it works, and it's better for consumers in the end.

nuclearlove

@thetunecatt: Actually, both North San Diego County stores (Vista and Escondido) are on the list. Meaning your only bigger box options left in North County are really Frys in SM or Best Buy in Oceanside or San Marcos. Unless you want to visit one of the 4 or 5 Walmarts on the 78 corridor...

Useless1998

no! not the one in compton!!

theboyfrombrasil

The last store on the list is practically across the street from me. I drove by it this morning and say maybe 2 cars pulled up to the front, looked official? Maybe.

UniComp

It is funny that if you look closely in the post picture you can see a "For Sale" sign on the green civic.

iChop

@Some_F-in-ShiT_Ass:

it's a bittersweet situation. CBS 880AM made it out like NY/CT/NJ lost a prized possession, but in reality the central states suffered the most.

I'm glad CompUSA was the first to go, but don't really feel too much impact because of this. There are 2 Bestbuy's and countless staples (whom I favor to an embarrassing level) around me, so selection isn't an issue.

Retail is a bitchy dog-eat-dog world. I have worked in it for over a year (yes, even for "S.Jobs" in the fruit company, Inc.) so I feel the pain.

Times are changing. Whether it be BB or CC is irrelevant. The fact is, I'm stoked that poor practices and metrics are finally biting themselves [and the employees who will finally see the light at the end of the tunnel] in the ass

I'm seriously rooting for the honest worker and conumer in the end, but unless the unjust retail metrics work themselves out, you'll continue to see acts like this work out

discounteggroll

@rDub: If I want to haggle the price,... yes. Unfortunately, BB doesnt haggle and CC does.

I'm so happy to see them go! I hope they ALL close down! They have they WORST customer service of ALL the electronic chains. On my #1 list was CompUSA, and they're all but gone, 2nd is Circuit City, and I'm happy to see they're on their way out!!! FYI, #3 is MicroCenter!!!

d3bruts1d

@JDL1527:

CC actually didn't even consider Frys as a competitor, Frys has NO customer service to speak of. I worked in the Santa Cruz, Ca store for 2.5 years, and they entire time CC was trying to be more like Best Buy which is like the most retarded idea ever. CC's been tanking for the last few years and this comes as no surprise to anyone who has worked there and actually pays attention.

agashi

They aren't dying off here... yet. But we've only got 2 of them. There are plenty more Best Buys than circuit city's.

Atriel

I will not miss CC when they all close.

Over the weekend I relented and got my wife a WII (mainly because I'm abount to upgrade my own system to a quad-core gaming ring at more than 3/4 the cost of the thing) So she has a coupon for CC, no issue.

Well, the fat, dumb one she speaks to says they are out of stock (we know they aare somewhat hard to find but read on) well, we asked the normal questions, such as do you know when your store is getting any, etc?

The answer from this manager: Well, we have an ad coming out for next Sat, and it will list how many units we are getting, we'll be open at 7am, you should try to get here and then see if you can get one.

Oh amn, I told him about the stores closing as reported by Giz, and his answer just confirms why they all should close.

We then went to a gamestop in the mall 1/4 mi away, where they had 3 left and picked one up ...

Yup, not going to miss them at all ....

Good Guys, Comp USA, and now Circuit City is going down the tubes. I like Best Buy but I think the consumer electronics market needs a healthy dose of competition between sellers. Now we will all be under the boot of Best Buy... :-(

Unlike the rest of you assholes, I think this is pretty sad. A lot of people are going to be out of a job, just in time for the holidays.

Good luck to everyone affected by the closings.
