In Reply to: 3,400 sales people have to leave Circuit City posted by Ole Lund Christensen on March 28, 2007 at 09:27:23:
add it all up....pretty grim, indeed ::Tweeter woes + Circuit Circuit City woes + Rex woes + Ultimate woes + Harvey woes + Comp USA woes + Goodbye Good Guys = a whole new retail landscape out there.
high end custom installation is healthy. Internet sales are healthy. Best Buy and their subsidiaries like Magnolia are healthy. And the low end like Costco, Wal Mart, and Target are healthy with CE sales.
oh.....and Apple's very very healthy with their CE audio/video sales.
