Circuit City shuts down

You can always count on Best buy.

Maybe President Obama will keep his word and get us some more job openings.

 

USGay is really stupid, circuit city is still here, in Canada, i could care less about usa's problems

 

Luckily there's a Best Buy right around the corner.

 

Now take that, think of it on a global scale, and you will have what would have happened if GM and Chrysler shut down. 34K jobs lost, try 500K jobs lost. It's sad to see the effects of the economic depression, but we saw the downfall of businesses coming.

Arevalo2k, you should worry what's going on in the US because the Canadian economy also relies upon the US industries and economy. Much of Canada's goods are imported from the US.

 

Wow, alot of stores are doing this, now if only the one store that i hate would, Wal-Mart.

 

Like they could find a job anyways.

It doesn't matter, its still 36k jobs :S

Oh god, if walmart shut down the end of the world must be near

 

For sure>_<

I live in Canada however I go to Circuit city a lot, and if it goes out of business in America, it wont take long for the same to happen here:/

 

it's crazy to think and thats only one business there will probably be a lot more to come imagine it maybe 2012 is no joke and this is the beginning :O

but seriously business' are failing because of the people but damn all those jobs lost and what if it just all continues and everything starts to fail :S

 

Oh no, circut city, whatever will we do!?

Seriously now, they destroy these stores, and create better ones, if you havn't relised?
I dont see the problem.
There will always be jobs open to people,
they just need to look, go to college perhaps for some?

 

You don't see the problem? 34k people out of a job..nope, thats nothing. The economy is shit right now, and there is more firing than hiring. College takes money, also.

Pretty much, if you have a job you better keep it.

 

Wow. I've bought some stuff from circuit city and seemed they were doing pretty well.

 

So because you bought from them they were doing ok?

 

You're totally right. I was kind of cranky at the time and wasn't :embar: thinking; I am smart, in a way

 

today i went to circuit city and daaaaaammmmmn it was crowded, everything is on liquidation; electronics except some certain stuff, shelves, their lighting, and etc.

got a ipod touch for $190/ xbox 360 for $140

 

Wow this is pretty bad i always go to circuit city like 2 blocks away from my house... and i need to drive like 10 min to the closest best buy -_ lame

 

I'm glad it's not directly affecting Canada. =P I recently bought a TV and paid for 2 years worth of warranty at The Source by CC.

 

Is Radio Shack also owned by Circuit City?

 

Are you also shutting down your operations in Canada?
No, our Canadian operations will continue. They are not affected by the liquidation of Circuit City's U.S. operations. The Canadian operations employ approximately 3,000 associates.

HAHA, eat it. Canada is spikin' the punch.

More on topic: 34, 000 jobs is alot, it's horrible how bad the economy has become over the past few months.

 

I don't believe so. I think they are a individual company.

 

And the U.S. economy takes another cock up it's ass.
