To me, they are still an experience. Unlike others, I still see the magical joy of browsing through a Walmart, Best Buy, Barnes & Noble or even the local mall. There’s nothing like going into a store filled with so much goods and products, that you just want to rummage through it all. Touching everything you can. Feeling and analyzing each item intensely. And then going through the vast halls of a store, going through all the twist and turns into different section. It feels like one giant world made up of several different mini worlds. I think the problem is, that most people just want to do things the easy way: online. I get that people don’t all the time to go to the store and get back. But when you have free time, don’t just stay at home watching UA-cam or playing video games with your friends. Meet up physically and go to a store! Why just order things online and stay at home doing nothing while you can be active, get exercise and expend some energy in a fun intriguing manner? And something while you’re at it. Thats what the store is for. To buy things.
There was an old circuit city right by my house. It’s now some Hispanic grocery store. But the building is the exact same with the square plug shape. They didn’t even repaint it so it looks cool seeing it when you drive by
@@t.thompson8985 The stickers were easier to remove but if they had them stamped on the album covers it was harder but I still got away with it at circuit city only in my area lol
Circuit City was my shit. Had the catchiest damn jingle and I loved the design/concept of the Plug being the store's entrance. It was so very cool to me as a child.

+GtaMasterYT Yes. The launch was delayed due to some things Circuit City Corporation needed to work out. Be patient. It will be here before you know it.
@@MegbyRigby It is privately owned. The owner is Ronny Schomel. He bought the intellectual property (The website, name, ECT.) from Systemax Corporation. The delay was due to the fact that he wanted the launch to go off without a hitch, which I think was a good move.
@foxtech106 : Circuit City was initially closed in 2009. In 2015, a gentleman named Roney shomel purchased the intellectual properties and started online. He also wanted to reopen brick and mortar stores, but COVID put that on hold.
Everything was better in the 90's. The 90's was the best era. Best TV, Best way of life, best stores, best time. Then the 200's came...and it all went down hill from there. I'm speaking in terms of America. I can't say for the rest of the world. The lead-up to the 90's was great...the 90's hit and it was spectacular..200's came and the woke mind set started to give birth.
The service at our Circuit City was impeccable. The people working there actually knew their products, not just a script. The computer sales folk wouldnt hesitate to open up a display model right there so you could see the internals yourself. As opposed to Best Buy where the workers treated you like a burden (Assuming you get someone to help you in the first place.).

It would have been awesome if they never closed in the first place. The original company dissolved shortly after they went out of business, this new Circuit City is a completely new corporation that bought the rights to the name from Systemax (who originally purchased the name from the original Circuit City as they liquidated. Systemax also owned the Comp USA brand as well).
Yes it would've. However, the current Circuit City is trying to bring all of that back. Right now, it's an online store. Let's see what the future will hold.
@Tommy StrawnArm : The reason Circuit City failed is because of poor ownership. The owners back then didn't put the effort to change with the times. The great news is their back and better than before. Go to www.circuitcity.com and enjoy your shopping.
One of three reasons why C.C. went out of business. 1) The basics: Managers fuck the companies they work for in mysterious ways. 2) Where there was one, there was also a Best Buy, either nearby at least a block away or just next door. 3) The Entity's Way, we may know the name at front, but not the true one, behind that name approving the offer: "For every $.$$ you spent, we'll give you $$$.$$", After purchased, for closing its doors the Evil one (The competition/s ??) Wins: "Mission Accomplished". Just ask yourself this question. Why C.C. went out of business but B.B. (Best Buy) didn't?.
@@Headroom23 I remember C.C. was like getting inside a modern spaceship (The ones you see in movies), while getting inside B.B (Even today's date) it's like getting inside a 1970's spaceship). There were three other stores in which I can only remember two that were modern, Comp USA (So, so) and Incredible Universe (Later on became an Online Store before becoming Fry's Electronics). I d k, but Fry's I believe it's going down. Nothing like it used to be, last time I was there, that by the way didn't have what I went to buy, it was like being at a cemetery under deep thick black clouds, very depressing. I think in this case Walmart is to blame. There's a Town in Texas call Denton. Walmart is prohibited in that Town, so in retaliation, right at the border of that Town Walmart open a distribution center just to break the people of Denton's balls with the increase of traffic and noise, not to mention the dust clouds the make on those dirt roads. I remember K Marts, but...their fate was sealed. I just don't know why Target still around, I say that because Target sucks, they don't have jack. Funny though, I once passed thru Ennis, TX and I stop at a Piggy Wiggly.... How sad, just found out they're no longer in Texas......funny though, just find out as well the last two were in Denton, TX.

I love how the giant plug comes out of the air and plugs into the store.
As a kid I really thought it did that too😂
That was high technology too.
Yep
The plug is the store
This is the only reason I'm watching this
ugh. back when department stores were still an experience. circuit City was like Disneyland when I was a kid.
A million times better

Loved Circuit City. Always had the best music selection.
Same here! Love the fact that they're still in business.
And when I was a kid they were the only store that would let me buy parental advisory cds/cassettes lol
@@jasonclark9963 I definitely remember those days! Damn stickers...lol
@@t.thompson8985 The stickers were easier to remove but if they had them stamped on the album covers it was harder but I still got away with it at circuit city only in my area lol
@@jasonclark9963 😂😂😂 true, true.
One of the best 90s jingles, loved these commercials and I had no idea there was a full version! Thank you for posting this!
Anytime. I enjoyed sharing it with you.
Love the music in this commercial!
I think that’s where I first played Sonic , it was the coolest thing ever!
That's awesome.
This is the place I first saw Crash Bandicoot. Also first place I saw Sega Saturn on a monitor.
Circuit City was my shit.
Had the catchiest damn jingle and I loved the design/concept of the Plug being the store's entrance. It was so very cool to me as a child.
In the end, you could always find the same item cheaper at Best Buy or Good Guys, but Circuit City was once so much fun to go into!
I miss those old skool memories
Man I miss Circuit City. Can't believe its out of business. 😞
BEST STORE EVER
Excellent circuit city nostalgia love it

@Juan Serrano : You'll be glad to know that Circuit City is back in business as an online store. Just go to www.circuitcity.com .
My mom used to work there (as a Janitor)
Circuit City was supposed to open at the Exeter Commons Shopping Center in Reading, but it never happened.
It never did.

Classic early 90s commercial
@Doug C : Yes it was. A great company back then. A great company now.
I realized the circuit city brand name is not gone for good after all

@@Headroom23 it was not Covid it was the online deluge of pre launch traffic in 2018 that put them on hold.
@@foxtech1068 Initially, yes. He wanted to make sure the site wouldn’t crash. Let’s hope he decides to open the stores back up.
that song is so catchy
0:18 it’s the cartoon Doggone Tired
When I first started smoking weed, this song played in the background
My brother was first born when circuit city shut down for good

This went hard af
The building from this commercial is now the Spirit Halloween flagship location
I was not expecting a haunter to comment here
Best buy was like..."pfft...they gonna be so easy to take down"
the circuit city near me is now a michaels arts and crafts
That plug looks like one of those square plug in for your USB phone charging cables!
Loved them. My wife bought me my first PC there in 1994. Great deal too. A 486sx33 for $850. AST

It’s only an online store but regular stores will no longer return.
Best Buy is next in line
Best Buy took over.
So much for that state of the art service eh
That's sad that it closed it's business but still I remember it.
It was. Glad to report that they’re back. Go to www.circuitcity.com .
