Circuit City: End of An Era

Posted in category Best Buy, Circuit City

Sunday was the final day of business for Circuit City, the once-dominant national consumer electronics chain done in by the rise of Best Buy, the crummy economy, and multiple failings of its own. A Slashdot reader paid a final visit of respect to his local store, and found that they’d gotten rid of just about all the unopened electronics products, and were therefore selling off stuff like broken computers and the toilet-paper dispenser from the restroom. Whether or not you were ever a fan, it was a sad scene.

NPR has a segment on the end of the Circuit City era as well.
