Never set foot in one. It looked like Circuit City/Best Buy. Not sure when this chain opened, but it was clearly 20 years late.

I thought this was a FBG user.  Much less distressed to find the truth.

Was never going to buy anything there after their first big ad campaign decided to make fun of soccer.

Great FBG poster. I liked his catch phrase "you can take that to the bank, brohans" or was that someone else?

Funny, my wife wanted me to apply to hhgregg as a store manager.  I said no. Never been inside one so why would I want to manage one?

It always reminded me of the electronics store in 40-Year Old Virgin.   A lot of sales dudes with nothing to do.

The salespeople were commissioned, and you could tell. I went once but never again.

Yup. I warned people in the FFA about this a couple weeks back. Follow my newsletter.

Apparently a chain of stores with epically bad timing and a horrible marketing department?

The problem with hhgregg was all their stuff was subpar.

It was a giant store with kmart electronics
