Circuit City seeking to liquidate - Jan. 16, 2009

So there'll be some good deals on TVs?

It's just a welcome to 2009. This will be happening everywhere. Glad I have done been laid off....... so now I have gone through the first few days of "why me" behavior. This is just the beginning. It started in my area when a Ford plant shut down in early 2008. From there DHL..... from there a huge amount of surrounding companies and attractions. Lets just say it doom and gloom around this area. There is a exception though, all the auto parts stores are busy as all hell around here. Wonder why though? I dunno......

Laid off hell, they are closing 500+ stores. They are done.

Golden Gate capital is the company that bought Express from The Limited. my paycheck technically comes from them I guess.

They are liquidating everything. Circuit City is officially no more.

They sucked, any way.

I'm surprised they have that many employees. Worst chain ever. I'm pretty sure I haven't spent a dime there in 12 years at least.

Unf. no one cares about thos jobs or cc - so they can't ask for a bailout. Sucks to be them!

I have always gone to best buy instead, CC did suck and deserved to be closed.

The low ceilings and subdued lighting should have made their stores more inviting, but the floor plan was chaotic and I never could find anything. That and their selection and prices always sucked. I think the last time I spent money there was for a Sony CD Discman in 1989.
