I think they simply lost their vision of what their company was and is. Are they a place to by electronic components? Phones? Batteries? Electrical gadgets? There’s a lot of competition that sells nearly all of those things. And what I can’t find at a brick and mortar competitor, I can find online. How many can really say, “I shop at Radio Shack for ______ because they do it better than ______ (named competitor.)”

Their stores have become little boutiques with little more than cel phones and electronic toys. I live as close to Fry's as I do Radio Shack, so I skip Radio Shack.
