The original Circuit City location in Humble Texas is getting a new life as Roberts Carpets and floors. This location was closed a year prior to the company bankruptcy and relocated down the Highway to Deerbrook Mall as a "The City" location. This store was a regular sized location that was opened in the mid 1990's.
Ah memories. I was part of the grand opening crew when the store opened in '94. I have more or less good memories of working there during those days.
ReplyDeleteStore has a completely new face now. It's nice to finally see at least one empty Circuit city space renovated and refaced.
ReplyDeleteI now live in southern California (transferred from the old Humble store to a Circuit City outside of L.A.) and a good number of the Circuit City locations around here actually have been refaced and repurposed as something other than a seasonal holiday shop; among them are a TJ Maxx, Golfsmith, Toys R Us, and a Best Buy. I know of only one former Circuit City store in my area that hasn't yet gotten new tenants of any kind.
