From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
INDIANAPOLIS – The electronics retail store HHGregg will be closing the doors to all of its locations after the chain experienced a large decline in sales. HHGregg filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March but failed to find a buyer which has resulted in its closing.

HHGregg has several locations in Alabama, including Birmingham, Huntsville and one in Trussville. The chain has maintained stores in 20 other states throughout the U.S.
The company has begun liquidating its assets and will close all of its stores – 220 locations – by May of this year.
Customers can still use gift cards and return items for the next few weeks. About 5,000 jobs will be terminated.
HHGregg is one of several other retailers that have taken a hit due to failing revenue. Among them will be Sears, J.C. Penny, Macy’s, Kmart and other chains.

Not surprised. I bought our dishwasher there and swore I would never do business with them again.
Charles Bush
I had good experiences there, I will miss them.
Casie Hardin Bailey
We had excellent service with them and will hate when they are gone
Melanie Whitfield
We had no service there. Not one of the four employees even spoke to us….walked in and around and back out the front door and vowed never again to go in there. No surprise they are closing
Kay Fochtmann Mickel
Similar experience to Melanie. We walked in walked around a few minutes all the employees were close to the door talking, saw us, never spoke, we’ve not been back. No other customers were in the store.
Carol Alldredge
Thought it had closed a long time ago.
Kay Hicks
What happens to all the insurance on their appliances they sold people.
Chuck Browning
Funny most people try to avoid the employees come up until They really have a question.
Markus Jester
Who the hell still goes there
Nick Pearson
They will still be honored. I worked for Circuit City when this happened. The insurance is backed by a third party company. You will probably get something in the mail.
Jarrod Hill
Too overpriced and unfriendly employees will get you every time
