CEO Ronny Shmoel has announced that Circuit City will be back in February. The retailer, which was once the number-one tech chain, will return as an “experiential” website offering a personalized online shopping experience with social media, augmented reality, and real-time tech support via video chat. Kiosks, store-in-stores, and showrooms will follow if all goes well. Thanks manny1222.
Shmoel described a curated product assortment that will include A/V, computers, gaming, imaging, small appliances and smart-home products by top-tier vendors like Samsung, Panasonic and Canon, as well as tier-two and tier-three brands. The new Circuit City owns some of its own inventory, which it is amassing in distribution centers around the country, and will also work with drop-ship partners, he said.
