NEWPORT NEWS -- Indianapolis-based appliance and electronics company hhgregg needs to hire about 100 people for two stores set to open in Hampton Roads this spring.
The company will hire about 50 workers each at the Newport News and Va. Beach stores.

The Va. Beach store will be located at 3421 Va. Beach Blvd. in the old Linens N' Things store, said city spokeswoman Carissa Frasca; the Newport News store will open at 12140 Jefferson Avenue in the former Circuit City building near Target next to Patrick Henry Mall, city spokeswoman Kim Lee said.
