From the WSJ: Circuit City Files for Bankruptcy

Troubled electronics retailer Circuit City Stores Inc. filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy Monday in an effort to stay ahead of lenders owed $898 million.
...
The lenders have agreed to loan Circuit City $1.1 billion to keep the retailer's doors open through the holiday season.

There is a good chance that Circuit City will be gone in January - another serious blow for mall owners.
