Yup, that trusty go-to Radio Shack is back. https://www.radioshack.com/ And still selling their usual stuff... |
| ataradov:
I'm guessing some dodgy company bought a name and wants to to milk it a bit longer? |
| JohnnyMalaria:
I don't think so. They own these pretty well-known stores, too: EDIT: In case the image doesn't behave: Linens-n-Things, Pier 1, Dressbarn, Farmerscart, The Franklin Mint, Modell's Sporting Goods and MentorBox. |
| ataradov:
I thought Pier 1 went bankrupt last year. It looks like they buying them at a bargain price. |

Of course, that was after *Woolworth's in Oz had already sucked that once popular electronics shop dry! *Just for general background, Woolworths in this country is not related to the original (now defunct) US company. Back in the early 1900s, some "sharpie" jumped in & registered the Woolworth's name in Oz! |
