Circuit City to close 567 remaining US stores
Circuit City became the largest retailer to fall victim to the expanding financial crisis Friday, announcing it will shut down its remaining 567 U.S. stores at the cost of 34,000 more jobs after failing to sell the business.

n00bs. Read the damn site. www.circuitcity.com.

Canada is not affected at all. They're most likely a completely different (from a legal perspective) company.

Buddy in Seattle reported that as of Saturday 17 January, all liquidation items were only 10% off, so nothing special. No mad rush.
