Fry’s has 10 times the components at lower prices. Radio shack is gone.
We have a Fry’s here in Indiana.
I looked them up on Wiki and was surprised they have only 34 retail locations, most in Tx and Ca.
And you have to drive 20 miles to get to one. When you drive 20 miles to get to a store, chances are you are going to spend some money.
Closing the stores is only one of Radio Shack's remedies. The other is finding a niche' that isn't already dominated by some other company (like Fry's).
If Radio Shack had any vision at all, there would never have been a need for a Frys'.
Fry's filled the niche that Radio Shack left open. Radio Shack reduced their selection and grew their stores. Fry's increased their selections and they keep their stores down to a minimum.
