CEO Ronny Shmoel made the announcement at the Consumer Electronics Show Monday.

CNBC reports that Shmoel acquired the brand, domain and associated trademarks for Circuit City in October 2015.

Shmoel announced at CES that the revamped website will include a variety of features, including virtual vignettes, search by photo and augmented reality, Twice said.

After filing for bankruptcy in 2008, Circuit City attempted to operate strictly online after closing its last store in 2009. However, those plans folded in 2012, according to CNBC.
