In Lake Charles Louisiana this perfectly preserved Circuit City location serves as a reminder of the once mighty chain of electronics stores. Most of the locations that were left over in Houston have been taken over by other chains and the Circuit City signs are gone. Circuit City was a great place to find the newest electronics back in the day, but fell behind the times. If you were an employee of any Circuit City feel free to comment.
I live in a nearby town and remember when i was little going into this circuit city. This is also where i got my first gameboy. I also remember the toy r us. Although it is still in operation, i dont go there anymore. It hold fond memories of my childhood.
ReplyDeleteI worked at the Circuit City in Humble, TX, at the free-standing location, before they moved to Deerbrook Mall. Though it wasn't the greatest job in the world, I do have fairly fond memories of working there, because I started the job during a rough patch in my life, and working at the store helped me to heal; I met some cool folks and got to play with some nice toys.
ReplyDeleteSo sad what happened to the company.
Boot Barn has since filled the Circuit City space, the plug is now white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update. This is the second location I have seen where a Boot Barn/Baskins has filled a location that previously was a Circuit City. The other one is in Lufkin Texas.
