Circuit City Stores Closing - Thousand Oaks Store bites the dust

Ever since relinquishing the title of “The Big Box Electronics Store” to Best Buy in the ’90’s, Circuit City has never managed to regain its competitveness.  There are probably a million and two things that I can think of that would qualify as CC’s missteps in its turnaround plan, but at this point listing them is probably too little, too late.  I don’t think it will be much longer until CC follows the footsteps of Tweeter.

And even though I’ve never shopped at Circuit City often, it is with a sad heart that I watch the Thousand Oaks CC appear on the list of closing stores.

Is your neightborhood Circuit City closing down?  You can find the list here.

Let me a comment.  How do you feel about CC closing 150 stores?

Sigh… one less option to do price matching with.

Update:  Looks like it won’t just be the Thousand Oaks Store.  R.I.P. Circuit City.  You will be missed.
