I had no idea that Radio Shack had gone Tango Uniform! One of my brothers introduced me to RS back in the 60’s and it has been my go-to store for electronics ever since.

But I guess Best Buy and Fry’s Electronics have pretty much squeezed them out. How sad.

Yep..

Some stores are still open under some sort of agreement with Sprint.. (from Feb. 5)

Nearly a century after it opened its first store and sent out its first catalog, RadioShack declared bankruptcy on Thursday.

It has struck a deal to sell up to 2,400 of its approximately 4,000 stores and wireless company Sprint (S) will create a "store within a store" in up to 1,750 of those.

RadioShack said that its remaining stores are expected to close.

A lot fewer people died than I expected. I can take the movie back to the library tomorrow.

The Box stores changed the market and RS couldn’t figure out what they wanted to be. They tried to become a hip place then they tried to become a mobile place then focused on being a phone place. My daughters actually got good Verizon phones at a much better price than Verizon was offering through The Shack. But, in the end, a lack of definition done ‘em in.
