UPDATED: Breaking: Circuit City Closing 155 Stores

What a flimsy article. It blames neither George Bush nor Wal-Mart.

Seriously, if Wal-Mart enters a business of a stock you are holding--sell. Didn't they announce recently they were going to sell electronics? Might have something to do with it.

Whole Foods got the Wall Steet beat-down once Wal-Mart mentioned they might sell organic stuff.

I didn't know Circuit City had 155 stores left to close.

We need a whole foods in DSM. That place is great!

I'd vote for that.

Sadly, I have nothing much to say about CC, but mention Whole Foods and I'm on board.

Not just Wal-Mart, Best Buy has been kicking their butt as well.

But you know that its nickname is "Whole Paycheck"!!!:biggrin:

I wish I could afford to shop at 'whole paycheck'...er Whole Foods

Winds up being cheaper than the "specialty organic" stuff sold at marked-up prices in the regular chains.

But I would settle for a Trader Joe's instead of a Whole Foods.

I can't understand that. I've only been to Circuit City a few times, but they seem almost exactly like Best Buy. How does one succeed while the other fails miserably?

If for no other reason than to get access to "Two-Buck Chuck!"

Hey, it's not half-bad wine. What does it matter if the grapes were bruised if they get squished anyway?

Though last time I was there, it was up to "three" buck chuck.

I don't know. I have never been to a Circuit City. I have always gone to Best Buy. I think it's partially due to their Sunday ads. I always hunt through the paper to get their ad every sunday. I can't remember if Circuit City even has an ad in the DMR.

Then again, I really like the color blue too. :wink:

I haven't been to a Circuit City in probally 10 years... maybe more. I was a little suprised to see they were still around

Geek Squad put best Buy ahead.:sad:

I've heard that Wal-Mart started making a three dollar wine that's pretty good. I wouldn't know, because I haven't set foot in a Wal-mart in 3 years for the principle of the matter.

We occasionally shopped at one in Lincoln, NE, in our time in that state. They never seemed real impressive. The store seemed poorly laid-out, and the selection wasn't that great. Oh, well. Do we even have any in Iowa?

That's it, I'm on my way to Wal-Mart as soon as I finish this post.

Not sure if it's nation-wide or not, so don't be mad at me if it's not there!!:no:
