The day has arrived. Circuit City is officially closing its doors tonight. First and foremost, my well wishes are being sent out to the 34,000 employees that no longer have a job there. It’s a sad day when anyone loses a job.
As for Circuit City itself, it will be missed. I personally liked the store and especially liked the integration between the website and the store. Having the ability to purchase items online and pick them up in-store in 24 was a genius idea. Their ability to sync their inventory between website and physical location should be applauded and mimicked whenever possible (are you reading this Fry’s?). Also, great deals were always to be had at Circuit City. I have bought many-a-gadget there myself and will miss all the incredible discounts.
It’s a sad day for the electronics community. You will be missed Circuit City.
