It's about time. The store had terrible customer service and nothing was organized on the shelves correctly. People in the United States have become numb with stores that have terrible customer service and we don't demand better. Circuit City brought this on their business due to a poor business plan.
Circuit city has been in economic concern for 5 or 6 years now. They offered off CarMax as a results of fact they mandatory speedy money. Blockbuster tried to purchase the business enterprise various months in the past and CC declined. Then CC had 2nd ideas later, yet Blockbuster withdrew the bid. superb purchase out-merchandised them. Circuit city hung on too long on the previous seen having to handle a commissioned shop clerk to make a purchase order. of course, the shop clerk tried to swap you to a extra robust priced merchandise and then battered you to purchase the costly extra beneficial guarantee. a lot of people appeared intimidated to save in that atmosphere. Rick Sharp, the CEO on the time, vowed that he could by no potential exchange the approach. He claimed that CC had examined the excellent purchase self-provider format in Florida and that the customary public did not like it. He appeared to be the only guy or woman who knew approximately this try (I used to artwork in administration with Circuit city). So finally, with the inventory in the dumper and the purple ink flowing by way of Richmond headquarters, the recent CEO desperate to alter the shops to the excellent purchase seen procuring. They have been given rid of the commissions and positioned procuring carts in the shops & took the item out of the locked stockroom and positioned it on counters so for you to %. products up off the counter and take them to the checkouts. Too little too late, even nevertheless, as superb purchase had already sewed up that industry and had far outpaced Circuit city in the kind of shops in operation and a lots bigger sales quantity. Now ideas you, i do unlike procuring the two place. i think of they are the two finished of youngsters who commonly do not understand what they are speaking approximately until you're procuring a working laptop or pc. the international abounds with pc geeks; yet while it contains high quality stereo and video, it truly is a no-flow. we are fortunate adequate to have a Fry's right here the place I stay. There at the instant are not lots of those electronics warehouses around, yet once you hit upon one you have got here upon all of it. huge sequence, great costs, reported sales team.
After all Circuit City Stores and Circuit City Headquarter in Richmond, Virginia, are closing in the U.S., and that means the economy hates Circuit City.
Remember, Circuit City Stores close more stores in the U.S. because the economy hates you!
cc closed because they sucked.
there are lots of better, cheaper and more reliable options out there like jr.com, crutchfield.com, amazon.com even target, wal-mart or best-buy (even though bb is probabl next since they followed the same business plan as cc)
so calm down... everything's going to be ok
That is pretty sad news. I never shopped at Circuit City, but it is still sad to see a company like that go down the toilet. I once read bad things about Best Buy posted on the internet by some of it's past and present employees exploiting the company for what it really is.
There are tons where I live--Best Buy, Frys, Magnolia, Walmart (has some stuff)....you probably just need to look around. There is also Amazon, Sony on line. But CC was NEVER the cheapest in my area & their customer help was awful.
Well there is still Best Buy, Office Dep., Staples, etc.,etc.
The giants around there will just fill the blank.
Circuit city is not yet gone. We don't need to have this conversation until March. No there are no plans for any more electronic stores. Circuit city failed because they did not have a big enough market share. That being the case why would they open more stores.
