![Apparently RadioShack hired a summer marketing intern. They're doing excellent work. [1284x1181 - 124KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/nCiYgv.jpg){kind=link}
The writing was on the wall when they turned into cellphone stores.
Their heyday came with the brilliant gadgets and gizmos they used to sell, and passed by when they tried to become another Good Guys or Best Buy. If it ain't broke don't fix it!
To be fair, they were like Sears, from an earlier era. They sold things for do-it-yourselfers. The market changed.
Never understood why they didn't turn themselves into a microcenter type store.
Isn't that what they used to do?
Not really.
They had a lot of parts for radio and electronics hobbyists. Also they sold some of the first personal computers like the TRS-80 and Tandys.
RadioShack never transitioned well in the larger pc market like microcenter. They never sold motherboards or video cards. It was never a build your own PC shop.
They aren't big enough
You mean square footage? They could have rented larger retail spaces easily.
