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.
I am off to bed...sorry kids...I’ll comment tomorrow day.
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.
