To Charles: I work at Best Buy and we would never buy out circuit city, we are in the business of making money and not losing it $.10 a share in stock is kinda sad.

to Dawn: BBB bought LNT after LNT filed for bankruptcy. that is why they are owned by the same company. i look for best buy to do the same with CC soon.

Given that LNT and BBandB are both owned by the same parent company it is a valid concern that both divisions could potentially file for Chapter 11. I was at both stores today and recived conflicting information. LNT said that BBandB DID file for Chapter 11 about 2 weeks ago but they haven’t gone public yet. BBandB, on the other hand, said that LNT didn’t know what they were talking about. When I asked about the coupons initally BBandB said they would still accept LNT’s coupon but when I went to use a 20% off total purchase coupon the story changed and became “we will accept coupons off individual items not total purchase.” The vibe I got off the people in the BBandB store was one of - - nerviousness as if they are trying to convience themselves that everything is fine and not just the customers. I say time will tell if BBandB starts up with liquidation sales or not.

NO BBB IS NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS. I WORK FOR THEM AND WE ARE VERY PROFITABLE. MR KNOW IT ALL FROM A PREVIOUS REPLY DOES NOT KNOW IT ALL. WE ARE STILL TAKING LNT COUPONS EVEN THOUGH SEVERAL STORES HAVE CLOSED. WE STILL TAKE OUR OWN COUPONS- EVEN EXPIRED AND WE TAKE 1 COUPON PER ITEM. SO IF YOU BUY 4 ITEMS YOU CAN USE 4 COUPONS. WE DID BUY BYE BABY BUT NONE OF US ARE HURTING. OUR SALES ARE GREAT. DON’T WORRY ABOUT US- DOING GREAT. VERY SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT LINENS AND THINGS-THOUGH. IN THIS TIME I DON’T WISH JOB LOSS ON ANYONE. AGAIN REALLY SORRY.

I too got the forwarded email, but knew immediately something was fishy since I stay current on this type thing. My google search also landed me here.

Hey listen people ! I was a manager for this company they have bought two very large companies just this year and Buy Buy Baby which had a huge amount of dept and not even as profitable as reported befor the purchase and they bought the Christmans Tree Stores again a purchase filled with dept and a company not as profitable as reported………now the BBB stores are reducing payroll and buyers are putting a limit on what stores can order and how much? And sales are down as much as 40% and for the first time in thier history they are limiting coupon use to one per customer they are not taking L&T coupons and not taking out of date coupons this is not a track record for a profitable company

I work for BBB and was puzzled today when a customer INSISTED that BBB had filed bankruptcy. I told her I knew nothing about it and that LNT had filed bankruptcy and are closing numerous stores. She told me she read it online so I searched BBB and Bankruptcy and here I got. From what I’ve observed, our business has only increased this year over last.
