Well aother one may bite the dust! I hope we can get a president to turn this economy around!:(:(:(

It ain't because of the economy. It's because the stuff CC sells is overpriced and can be bought for less money at Best Buy. In Meriden, CT both are within spitting distance of one another. CC is in the Chamberlain Plaza and BB is in The Meriden Square Mall. The Mall is in back of the Chamberlain Plaza. And I have it on good authority that BB in Meriden does more sales than that CC does.

The pike has CC and BB right across the street from one another also.  Don't really go to eighter store though.

Wow our circuit city haven't even been here for two years. Ours is a tiny one same with Best Buy its a decent store. Bestbuy has more traffic then Circuit city here

150+ stores are closing now, including withdrawals in several markets.

Locally, Patchogue/Holbrook, Bay Shore, East Northport, Massapequa and Lake Grove, NY are closing.

They are very overpriced compared to BB and they have better customer service too.

They're exiting the Atlanta market, so I'm losing all the stores here, Guess I wont be getting Black Friday deals there.
