A relaunch of CircuitCity.com would NOT be by the same company that just went out of business. As part of the liquidation, all assets (including name) would have been sold. The question is who owns the name now.
@VernonGalute: Dead on...I worked with CC through the liquidation. The CC name and FireDog name were auctioned off. So if/when they rise from the grave they'll just be a reincarnate and not the same company. Possibly a good thing...obviously they couldn't get it right the first time around.
@DoyleBabazoid: I hope it was bought by BestBuy, so you can still get shitty prices and service at CircuitCity.com . Then it would have a nice nostalgic quality.

They didn't even have circuits in 1949. (Yes yes, I understand that's technically inaccurate).
I bet it "re-opens" as a bunch of Google ads, a la every good domain name that you'll never be able to buy.

It was called Wards Company until 1984.
