Some eight years ago when I purchased my first computer, it was a Circuit City store I went to in order to make that purchase. Since then, I have returned to that store for other high tech gadgets such as: a video game, a D-Link internet adapter for my laptop and a few other items.
And the more I pay attention to the goings on about the state of the economy, the more I have come to realize what a serious impact it is having on stores such as Circuit City.
According to latest news reports, Circuit City has announced that it plans to close all of its US stores. In addition, 34,000 Circuit City employees will lose their jobs as a result.
Did someone say the state of the economy was getting better? With Circuit City set to close its stores in the US, it´s enough to make one wonder which major company is going to be affected in such a big way next.
I guess if you want to find a brighter side of this story, Circuit City is having close out liquidation sales at all locations.
And as of this writing, Canadian Circuit City stores will not be affected, you can still use your Circuit City gift cards at the close out sales stores in the US, there will be no delivery of purchased goods while the liquidation process is in effect and the close out sales will continue until March 2009.
Liquidation close out sales began as of January 17th 2009.
