The Shack is back!
JohnnyMalaria:
Yup, that trusty go-to Radio Shack is back.

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.

Like the big "bottom of the foodchain" importer (Kogan) that bought Dick Smith's name in Oz!
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!
