Circuit City (Richmond, Va.) has plans to revive the retail chain, which went bankrupt and closed in 2009. It plans to open the first of its new stores in the Dallas area this June and expand to operating 50 to 100 stores by the end of the year.

The new stores will be different from their previous incarnation. According to The Dallas Morning News, the stores will be small, urban stores with footprints between 2000 and 4000 square feet each. The stores will target millenials with an assortment including smartphones, tablets, video game products, drones, 3D printers and DIY kits. They will also feature touchscreen terminals that allow shoppers to access an online selection of 1 million products.
