Yeah, same deal with H.H. Gregg, they came into the market like a bull in a china shop and then they were all gone a few years later.

It was reported in January 2016 that the Circuit City brand would be revived as Circuit City Corporation by area retail veteran Ronny Shmoel, who acquired the brand from Systemax.[63][64] Circuit City was originally set to reopen in June 2016,[65] but the postponed relaunch was announced at CES for February 15, 2018.[66] On August 22, 2018, Circuit City Corporation officially relaunched the brand name as an online retailer and announced plans to begin operating as a store-within-a-store chain.[67]

I always thought they had some decent stuff for cheap shit from China. 100 times better quality than Bob's Furniture.

The Art Van in Lombard is literally across the street from The Dump, which remains open despite the shitty name.

The Dump is a rip-off. Art Van was a nice mixture of deals and interesting selection. I’m honestly disappointed.
