There's still a Blockbuster sign up by the freeway near where I used to live. There wasn't a Blockbuster there even when I moved there 10 years ago.

I actually worked at the second to last block busters. It was sad like having a job inside a dying person. Every month it was a new gimmick to get people back. But still fewer and fewer people showed up. You could feel the end coming.

Circuit City was great until it wasn’t.

Sucks.

Why did Best Buy survive buy Circuit City went under? They were basically the same thing, so what did they do differently?

I think it's a Highlander scenario, there can only be one.

[–] zod000@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

As someone that shopped at both, but preferred Circuit City, I think Best Buy initially did a better job of "wowing" customers and had a better store layout. They also were better at trying to squeeze money out of people and thus were more profitable than Circuit City, so when times got leaner they survived and then had the whole market.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

That's the Chula Vista toys r us and the San Diego Fry's. Right?
