PROFILE |
 |
For disc- or wheel-spinning, shoppers can head to Circuit City Stores. The company consists of two businesses under separate tracking stocks: Circuit City Group, the #2 US electronics retailer (behind Best Buy), with about 630 stores, and CarMax Group, which runs 40 used-car superstores. Circuit City stores are known for broad selection and competitive pricing. CarMax locations offer no-haggle deals with prices ranging from $4,000 to $30,000. CarMax also operates more than 20 new-vehicle franchises (mostly located at its used-car locations). The company has scrapped its Digital Video Express (Divx) venture, which offered DVD players and limited-use movie discs through Circuit City Group stores.
