Isn’t it sad how the grand names of yesteryear are disappearing?
The roll of closures over recent times has included true household names across lots of business areas and it’s sad to see so many of them go by the wayside.
Just a few months ago Circuit City added its own name to that roll and with it disappears 60 years of trading history. Unfortunately, in todays economic climate it proved to be just too difficult to maintain its own unique brand of trading and despite massive efforts to save the business and to sell it on, it’s gone from the highstreet.
However, with each substantial loss comes gains for others in the same areas of activity and whilst there’s no obvious highstreet chain taking up the slack some of the internet retailers have tried to pull in business that would previously have gone in the direction of Circuit City.
Although it’s good to see that others can benefit from these losses it’s still sad to see so many famous names disappearing.
