Reminds me of when CompUSA closed down all stores in western Washington.  Only one Circuit City store in WA is affected and it's not one I visit.

Good riddance far as I'm concerned.  Never bought anything there that didn't give me some kind of problem at some point.

Never had any problems with them, but then I haven't bought anything there in sometime.
13 stores in the Phoenix area.
I haven't checked the phone book, but it looks like all the stores in the Phoenix, AZ area.

What goes around comes around.  I stopped shopping there when they were pushing the DIVX thing ( no not the GOOD DivX free video player we currently have)  but the pay per view per DVD thing they were pushing - bit the dust of course in 1999 and I have never been there since...

They don't seem to be closing any stores in my area.  But I'm still not shopping there.  Especially since I have 3 Best Buy stores between me and the closest Circuit City (8 miles away).  Not that I give them much business either!

They had already closed the store here a few years back, without any prior notice. It was just up and gone one day basically.

Nothing here in the Rochester NY area. Although we only have three stores here I was worried. Don't really want to see Best Buy not have any competition here in western NY. We already have a high sales tax rate that is the highest in central and western NY, I would hate to see BB prices if circuit city closes. I don't do alot of shopping there anymore, but I like the option of going and getting my physical media from retail when there is a bargain to be found.

They are closing the one here also and I'm not too surprised. Whenever I went in there, I always got attitude from the people working there. Whenever I drove past, there were hardly anyone in the parking lot. The paper here did say that the going out of business sale starts tomorrow.

Enjoy your "bye, bye" sales, those are usually fun. 
Looks like the CC in my area will remain, which is fine by me. I don't shop there much, but they did beat ABC Warehouse (and all others) on my new HD tv so I bought that there. Nice to know they'll be there in case I have to use the warrenty.

I'm kinda shocked that any stores are remaining. I don't think they doing too good. The store here is usually empty, and the stock price is almost nothing.

Unfortunately, the sales will not be that great.  Any item which doesn't cost an arm and a leg to ship will be transferred to a nearby store.

I have always been disappointed when I go to CC based on their weekly flyer and then can't find the stuff that's supposed to be on sale (i.e., DVDs).  They also shelve DVDs stacked on top of each other so it takes more work to find what you want.  The nearest CC to me isn't scheduled to close, but I doubt I'll visit it very often.
