While I previously blogged about Circuity City filing for Chapter 11 reorganization and cloing 155 stores nationwide in the process, I mentioned that the local store here was not included in the list of closings.
However, some pretty reliable sources are now saying that the previous number 2 big box electronic store is now planning on adding an additional 150 stores to the list. And they plan to announce it in as few as 2 weeks from now. I haven't seen the new list, but if the rumor holds true, Circuit City coud very well be leaving our area. Apparently, the black friday sales numbers are to play a big part in the final decision.
In my mind, this just verifies that business owners really want small VAR's to help them with technology decisions. Price is apparently not always the determining factor.
Stay tuned to see if our local store is leaving.
To Your Success,
Tim
