<i><b>Not suprising as it started last year when they closed &quot;under productive stores&quot;. It&#39;s a shame how this nation works and relys so much on long term credit and projected sales. It really takes a lot of funds to fill one of those stores, not only Circut City, but just look at Kohls, J C Pennys, your local grocery store, auto part stores and then figure on the amout of taxes they are supposed to pay on inventory.<br /><br />We, as a consumer group has had more, wanted more, demand more for less and less that it is in reality driving these stores out of business in part due to the thin bottom line and the ever increasing new things that we demand the stores to carry.<br /><br />Now don&#39;t get me wrong to fact that I blame everyone for stores going under, that&#39;s not it at all, it&#39;s the poor management, overpaid upper CEO&#39;s, and marketing blitzs that get them into deep do do.<br /><br />Off my soap box<br /><br />Sorry<br />Jim</b></i>
