Circuit City Bankruptcy

Bankruptcies and Collapses

In November 2008 the electronics retailer Circuit City filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after years of declining sales and competition from larger rivals. Unable to find a buyer or restructure successfully, the company converted to Chapter 7 liquidation in early 2009 and closed all of its remaining stores.
