Circuit City to Close 155 U.S. Stores

Nov 3, 2008  •  Post A Comment

Circuit City will close 155 U.S. stores, which employ about 17% of the company’s domestic workforce, as part of an effort to free up cash, the Associated Press reports. The No. 2 U.S. electronics retailer after Best Buy also will cut back on store openings and will try to renegotiate existing leases with landlords, the wire service says.
