Circuit City throws in the towel

Sad to hear. While at Sears online services, round 2, we admired the work they’d done there. They did some great things there in my opinion to try and salvage the brand: in-store pickup worked like a charm; the website user experience was top notch. In the end nothing could help solve drastic market conditions and fundamental business problems. I feel badly for my former colleague, Bill Rattner, design director there, but expect he will be reborn, given his experience, in an even more glorious form.

I just read an article that suggested Sears is in trouble too.

Ah Sears, perennial whipping boy of retail. 7th largest Internet retailer, though. Look what good it did for CC, on the other hand.
