Circuit City? Ours was in a location that has seen a succession of stores, none of which has succeeded. There was CompUSA, too; remember their Apple corner? Amazon didn't kill them; they went out with the consumer's desktop PC. Now people buy laptops at Staples, or Best Buy, and itty-bitty computers (i.e. smartphones) at Verizon and the Apple Store.
Business is tough, whether it's small or large. Nothing is permanent. Malls were the going thing a while ago; now seem to be languishing. Mom and pops are thriving in revived downtowns. Our area has seen a succession of 'one-floor department stores': Zayres, Kings, Ames, Bradlees, Caldor, Lechmere. . . even Kmart came and went; Sears remains so far; Walmart arrived only recently; as did more specialized stores like Bob's (clothing), Dicks (sporting), Bed and Bath, etc. Borders died off, but we still have a terrific Barnes and Noble in town.
