Our economy sucks.
Goodbye, Circuit City. God bless the awesome TV sales you guys had, it's how we got our sweet HDTV. I also remember getting my super-special edition Clerks boxset from you (I think it's out of print now I think) and you guys were the only ones that had it at a reasonable price (or had it at all). It'll be sad to see you go, especially since you were based in my hometown of Richmond. :(
Also, sayonara Steve and Barry's. With your closing, you have made University Mall look a lot more creepier now, and it was kinda dank (and creepy in some spots of the mall) to begin with.
Other things that are in their death throes (keep on the lookout):
FYE -- the FYE in University Mall in Tampa is closing and had everything in their store at half-off. It was pretty picked through, but we managed to leave with six movies: The Blues Brothers, The Simpsons Movie, The Orphanage, the special-edition Dogma, Goldmember and Knocked Up. I thought it was closing because it's in University Mall (it's kinda ghetto), but apparently FYE is closing a bunch of their stores and is on its last legs.
Borders -- yes, Borders too. I'm hearing that Borders' profitability is terrible. I'm also hearing that benefits for their employees have been cut dramatically and are next to nil at this point.
Sears -- It ain't doing so hot right now. I'm pretty sure they'll rebound eventually, even with the inevitable losses and store closures. Because it's Sears. But things aren't the way they used to be. However KMart (which is owned by Sears) may be another story. They are in great risk of disappearing completely.
I think I need to go to sleep now. :(
