Radio Shack opening makes sense. They sell a lot of the stuff people might use in around-the-house electornoics projects.

Disgusting. We won’t be shopping at the stores open on Thanksgiving.

The way all of the businesses have gone full bore into Christmas sales this past week. Black Friday is becoming a lost cause for those still having Black Friday Sales.

Radio Shack is a corporate dead man walking. The staying open Thanksgiving sounds like a Hail Mary.

This should be under “Breaking News”!

Who knew Radio Shack was still in business?

The first time I remember when a store opened Thanksgiving was the now defunct electronics store Crazy Eddie’s 20 years ago and that company went out of business soon after. The next time was around 7 years ago when CompUSA opened at 9 pm Thanksgiving. I tried to get in line for a dirt cheap computer and there were local TV news crews on scene. I showed up too late to get one of the limited vouchers and went home without going into the store.

Anyone out shopping Thanksgiving Day is missing the point of the holidays.

*sigh*

I’m a capitalist. I just wish people didn’t sacrifice these once sacred days just to make a cheap buck.

Soon Thanksgiving will be completely eradicated because there wont be a point. Might as well just go to work like it was a normal day.

So what’s the big deal? So the store will be empty on thanksgiving just like it is every other day of the year.. I really don’t know how this chain isn’t gone.

They used to be the geek store, if you needed something that’s where you went and they carried a surprising amount of stuff in stock.

Now? Who the hell is their target market? The electronic parts that used to be the draw are rarely in stock... so folks just order online now... who the hell goes to a radio shack anymore?

I cannot figure out how Radioshack has stayed in business. I’ve worked with electrical/electronics for 30 years. That place is useless.

You’ve got questions, we’ve got cell phones!

I haven’t been to Radio Shack in 10 years, that’s not about to change.

Well thank you Radio Shack. I was beginning to think you had lost your minds since you no longer sell radios or the parts to make them.

Remember those silly olden days when it was called "Good Friday" and not "Black Friday"?
