    Anybody remember those? Whatever happened to them?

    Putting this in football in hopes more people see it.

    Bankruptcy, I believe. Right around the time Dave Hart took over as CEO and hired Butch as national sales manager.

    They did. Had some good stuff, but really struggled to drive any real traffic.

    Ever have to speak with one of their managers? Some dumb mother ****ers they let manage their stores. No wonder they're bankrupt.

    Always thought they lacked consumer focus

    Back in the day, they were OK.. Only game in town... Best Buy came along and kicked their ass.

    RockyHill Loves Auburn more than Tennessee.

    I don't know if it was just the one store on Kingston Pike or if they were all this way, but it was always really dark in there. Always thought it was weird.

    K-Mart has become an embarrassment too.

    JC Penney and Sears just refuse to go away. The Butch Joneses of retail, IMO.

    I had to interact with a couple. They were basically freaks.

    Hated Circuit City. Irritated me almost as much as urethane film.

    It was the management. Anyone that was ever a manager there was dumb as hell. They would hire anyone to work there.
