Many details here: http://consumerist.com/5074161/updated-breaking-circuit-city-closing-155-stores

 

Looks like the closed stores may be open on BF, but won't honor the BF ad (or any of CC's ads) and will just be liquidating merchandise. Of course if you are in these areas, you might be able to order CC BF ad items online.

 

Either way, this could be the final BF for CircuitCity.

Just tried my zip code and the locator came back with "There are no Circuit City Stores within a 100 mile radius of Phoenix, AZ."

 

Looks like CC is completely leaving Phoenix Metro (4-5 stores think). But they are still keeping the two stores in Tuscon and one in Yuma...... for now.

Thank God!!!! My black friday store isnt closing. I go further away because the other one sucks. This will really screw up the line thing though. Maybe they wont tell anyone and theyll all line up at the closing store!! :D

Looks like they are closing the one closest to me In marietta (just north of Atlanta). The closest one will be 45 miles away and after that the next closest is in Tennessee.

 

Not a shock to me though, they rarely have a lot of cars in the parking lot...even on weekends. I used to shop there mainly for DVDs, but then it got to the point where I wuld want 1 or 2 they had on sale in a given week and I would be there 30 min trying to check out and the associates would just stare and stand around so I would ahve to wait for the 1 person at customer service who wasa ctually doing their job.

 

For the alst year+ I have got all my DVDs at BB, Target or Amazon.

Sigh. I just drove past this one yesterday when I went to Target. I was kinda excited since it's so close to my house. Oh well, maybe I'll score some good deals as it closes.
