RadioShack had everything you were looking for and absolutely nothing at the same time. It was glorious.
When they started filling the store with more cell phone advertising space than anything I knew they were done for.... Who in the hell bought cell phones at RadioShack? They stopped carrying much of what I went for, so I stopped going.
The other stuff they were selling didn't sell well. My ex worked at one during that transition. They made most of their money from cell phone sales so it kind of made sense to pivot.
A pivot made sense, just don't think becoming a cell store was the call. Clearly didn't work out so hot as a long term strategy.
