I'm not satisfied with the "suits killed Radio Shack" suggestions. Web search about the 21st century history of Radio Shack - or searching one's memory of the last 30 years - is that it was competing with direct online sales of components and consumer electronics at lower prices and more selection. Retail companies had all kinds of issues in the period. "Amazon"? "WalMart"? They still do. Details are business history matters that are usually outside the general discussions here. The question implied by the subject thread, is about the future of the Radio Shack name as a storefront (presumably in the USA where most of us are). Web search takes some time but finds a general answer soon enough. I'll be brief and provide actual references. Wikipedia says the "RadioShack" brand is owned since 2023 by Unicomer, bought from another corporation that bought up Radio Shack several years prior. Wikipedia says Unicomer Caribbean Holding Co. Ltd is a multinational retailing and consumer finance group headquartered in San Salvador, El Salvador with regional offices in Miami, Trinidad, Jamaica, and Costa Rica. It operates several chains of retail brands in the consumer durables sector, specializing in furniture, audio & video, appliances, and electronics in Central America, the Caribbean, South America, and United States. ... But the radioshack.com Web site, shows NO stores today, anywhere, in their "find a store" maps. It mentions plans to come back in the US and something about stores through Central America. The site sells branded electrical products online, a limited selection. https://www.soundandvision.com/content/yes-radioshack-stores-still-exist https://recommendedstations.com/2025/02/01/the-shack-is-back/ https://www.twice.com/industry/radioshack-returns-to-u-s-as-product-brand These articles suggest, previous Radio Shack stores had some license agreement to use the Radio Shack brand for some time; and may in the future get relicensed with Unicomer. Some stores may have simply left the expensive signage up. The twice.com article references a CES 2025 show appearance by Unicomer to promote Radio Shack and its storefront future as RadioShack USA and as a product brand. Unicomer seems to have a modest storefront presence, a few hundred stores in South and Central America and Caribbean. As vintage computerists of age, we've seen old electronic and computer brand-names, sold and reused to tag modern consumer products, occasionally computing products, sometimes services. Not too many vintage retailers come back as actual stores. The concept of brick-store franchises itself is endangered. But either as old signage or as possible franchises, it appears that "Radio Shack" is not at its very end. Regards Herb Johnson doin' the homework -- Herbert R.
