Circuit City was once a familiar sight across Dallas–Fort Worth, competing for customers in the growing electronics retail market. Even before its collapse in 2009, the company had relocated some stores into newer buildings, leaving behind older retail properties. When the chain finally closed, more buildings were left behind. Many survived, but their purposes changed dramatically.
Interestingly, Google Street View launched in 2007, just as Circuit City was approaching its final years. Some of the earliest images captured the electronics chain still operating, preserving a glimpse of storefronts that would soon disappear. Using those historical images and more recent views, we revisited nine former Circuit City locations across DFW to see what became of them.
9. Cedar Hill — From Circuit City to Best Buy
One electronics retailer eventually gave way to another at this Cedar Hill shopping center. Circuit City occupied the large storefront before the chain’s nationwide liquidation in 2009. Best Buy later moved into the property, replacing the former yellow entrance design with its familiar blue-and-yellow branding. The building remains in use as a Best Buy store. Although historical imagery is blurry, the original storefront design can still be recognized.
Former address: 731 N Highway 67, Cedar Hill, TX
8. Irving — From Electronics to Automobiles
Circuit City previously operated along Airport Freeway before relocating to Irving Mall in 2004. The original building had already become an automobile dealership by April 2008, according to Google Street View imagery. September 2025 imagery shows Don Herring Mitsubishi occupying the same property. The building’s overall structure remains recognizable, although its exterior has been adapted for automobile sales. The former Circuit City entrance projection is also still visible in aerial imagery.
Former address: 2901 W Airport Freeway, Irving, TX
7. Lewisville — A Former Electronics Store Gets Another Reinvention
Changes continue at the former Circuit City property along Hebron Parkway in Lewisville. Following the electronics chain’s closure, the large retail building eventually became a JOANN fabric and craft store. Street View imagery from May 2015 shows an unmarked storefront, while November 2022 imagery captures JOANN’s green-and-white facade. After JOANN closed, plans emerged to convert the space into Lava Island, an indoor family entertainment facility. State filings describe trampolines, playground equipment, party rooms, and other amenities.
Former address: 715 Hebron Parkway, Lewisville, TX
6. Arlington — Circuit City Becomes Nordstrom Rack
At The Parks at Arlington, Circuit City’s former storefront has undergone a substantial makeover. October 2007 Street View imagery shows the electronics retailer beneath the AMC theater, with its recognizable yellow entrance feature. By January 2026, the same space housed Nordstrom Rack. The entrance had been redesigned with a tan facade, while the theater remained above it. The transformation illustrates how the former electronics space was adapted for fashion retail without replacing the larger mall structure.
Former address: 3865 S Cooper Street, Arlington, TX
5. Dallas — Circuit City, Best Buy, and HomeGoods
Three major retailers have occupied the same large storefront at Prestonwood Town Center. Circuit City operated there before its 2009 closure, and Best Buy subsequently took over the space. The replacement electronics store underwent renovations in 2009–2010. After Best Buy closed, another transformation brought HomeGoods to the property. State records document interior and exterior renovations during 2022–2023. By July 2024, the storefront displayed HomeGoods signage, completing another chapter in the property’s retail history.
Former address: 5301 Belt Line Road, Suite 110, Dallas, TX
4. Irving — Circuit City Gives Way to Fitness Connection
Circuit City relocated from its original Airport Freeway location to Irving Mall in 2004. November 2007 Street View imagery shows the electronics retailer operating beside Macy’s, with its familiar yellow entrance prominently displayed. Following Circuit City’s closure in 2009, the space was eventually converted into a fitness center. State renovation records date the Fitness Connection project to 2013. By February 2021, the former Circuit City entrance featured Fitness Connection signage, while the surrounding mall structure remained recognizable.
Former address: 3888 Irving Mall, Irving, TX
3. Fort Worth — One Circuit City Becomes Several Stores
A single large electronics store at Overton Park Plaza was eventually divided into multiple retail spaces. October 2007 imagery shows Circuit City operating behind a prominent entrance featuring the company’s red branding. After the chain closed, the property underwent extensive storefront changes. By February 2018, Party City occupied the central section, with additional businesses operating alongside it. March 2025 imagery shows Party City’s signage still in place. The original unified entrance had been replaced by a series of smaller storefronts.
Former address: 4820 SW Loop 820, Suite B, Fort Worth, TX
2. Mesquite — From Electronics to Indoor Adventures
The former Circuit City building on Childress Avenue has experienced several transformations. The electronics retailer eventually relocated directly across Childress Avenue to a building on West Emporium Circle. The original location subsequently became RoomStore Furniture, followed by outdoor retailer Gander Mountain. Another renovation brought Urban Air Adventure Park, which opened in October 2019. The building’s exterior was substantially redesigned, although its distinctive angular entrance footprint remains visible in aerial imagery.
Former address: 3777 Childress Avenue, Mesquite, TX
1. Mesquite — From Circuit City to a School
Perhaps one of the most unusual transformations occurred at the former Circuit City building on West Emporium Circle. The electronics retailer moved here from its earlier location directly across Childress Avenue. November 2007 Street View imagery shows its distinctive yellow entrance and large storefront. After Circuit City closed, Carrington College occupied the building from 2011 to 2021, replacing the original entrance design. In October 2022, Mesquite approved plans for Premier High School to occupy approximately 11,455 square feet of the property, marking another transition from retail to education.
Former address: 3733 W Emporium Circle, Mesquite, TX
