THE FIRST CIRCUITY CITY LOGO
In 1949, Samuel S. Wurtzel opened the first Wards Company retail store in Richmond, Virginia, at 705 West Broad Street. By 1959 Wards operated four television and home appliance stores in Richmond. The company continued to grow and acquire more stores in other locations including Albany, New York; Mobile, Alabama; Washington, DC; and Costa Mesa, California.
Wards Company officially changed its name to Circuit City and became listed on the New York Stock Exchange in1984. The company, which leased floor space from the Zody's department stores as well as other department stores, began obtaining retail stores and turning them into Circuit City Superstores. The first of these replacements occurred in Knoxville, Tennessee; Charleston, South Carolina; and Hampton, Virginia.
Circuit City established the First North American National Bank to operate its private-label credit card[3]. In 2002, Circuit City began offering a co-branded Visa credit card. It sold both of these operations in 2004 to Bank One (now called Chase Bank). Other companies owned by Circuit City included CarMAX, which seceded from Circuit City in 1999, and Potapsico Design in 2001
