The one in Meriden's only been open maybe two years at the most. I remember because they started building it about the same time they built the Best Buy in the Mall. Originally Ciricuit City was gonna be in the mall and Best Buy was gonan take the old Waldbaum's, but Circuit City decided they didn't want to be in the mall. It had to be about two years ago because Lord & Taylor closed in 2002 (not long after they opened) and Best Buy is part of the old Lord & Taylor.

Here is the Circuit City that was in Parma, OH for 10 years or more, but closed when they opened a new store in Brooklyn, OH.  This is picture is too dark, I 'll have to try and get back during daylight so I can get a better picture.


I never did get a picture of the store in the daylight, but it's too late now it's gone.

You beat me to the punch, Marc82!  I found the article in the USA Today yesterday and am wondering if it will be another "Ames type" move if Blockbuster is starting to struggle and they go in and buy up an under-performing chain which could lead to their demise.  (Can you say Zayre, Gold Circle, etc.???)

:no:

Companies always make boneheaded moves. I'm originally from Bristol, Connecticut. HERMAN's Sports signed a 20 year lease in what was then Caldor Plaza not long after the company  (Hermans) filed for bankruptcy and shut down a bunch or stores.

Olympia Sports moved in a few years later. Then they swapped spots in the plaza with the party store. Only difference was the party store affiliated with PARTY CITY. They went out after only a few years. Sat vacant for years. Citibank took part of the space last year. And the gym next door expanded into the rest of the space. Citibank is closing this year.

Now I don't know if the Bristol Commons ever terminated Herman's lease or if all these places are subleasing the spot form Herman's.

The newer Circuit City sign is annoying. I like the old plug.

I agree. There was a Circuit City with the original plug design in Egg Harbor Township, NJ until about 2004. The last time I was there, I played the demo for Pokemon FireRed in the small video game section. It was also where we got our first computer. Now it's a K&G Men's Warehouse.

This is a nice picture. Apparently Williams Company has been building Circuit City building throughout the country since 1988.

so they were started in 1988???? thats as old as me lol

No, Circuit City started wayyyyyyy back in the 1940's as Wards (no relation to Montgomery Ward) and became Circuit City in the 60's. That company just started building CCs in 1988.

My Circuit City had the plug design and closed a couple of years back.  It is occasionally a flea market, but hey, at least it's still standing.
Proud to have been a member of this forum for 10 years.  Let's make it 10 more!

My nearest Circuit City had the plug design and closed in 2004. I got my latest computer at that CC. It's now a K&G Men's Warehouse.

The new store just isn't that cool.
