UPDATE 3-Circuit City files for bankruptcy protection

By Karen Jacobs ATLANTA, Nov 10 (Reuters) - Circuit City Stores Inc, the No. 2 U.S. consumer electronics retailer, filed for bankruptcy on Monday just weeks before the start of the holiday shopping season, becoming the largest retailer to file for Chapter 11 since Kmart in 2002. Circuit City fell victim to tighter credit terms from vendors, a draining cash position and decreased consumer spending amid a deepening economic crisis. The filing comes one week after the 59-year-old retailer said it would close 155 U.S. stores, or more than one-fifth of its retail base, and eliminate 17 percent of its U.S. workforce. The retailer and 17 affiliates filed for protection from creditors in U.S. bankruptcy court in Richmond, Virginia, where it is based.

Circuit City files for bankruptcy

Circuit City, the US electronics retailer, filed for bankruptcy protection on Monday, admitting it was struggling to persuade suppliers to keep its stores stocked for the holiday season. With more than 700 stores and 40,000 employees, Circuit City is the largest US retailer to fall victim to the credit crisis. Credit card spending, which accounts for three quarters of its business, was particularly hard hit, said Bruce Besanko, chief financial officer, in a court filing. The retailer had been reporting losses for two years after losing trade to Best Buy, its larger rival, and Wal-Mart, the discounter. Lex says while the credit crunch dealt the final blow to Circuit City, the real damage was done by Wal-Mart’s move two years ago into mainstream consumer electronics.
