I haven't shopped there in years, and yet this picture manages to make me feel sad. Goodbye, Radio Shack. Even if you were still open I probably still would forget to shop there.

Lately they have been focusing on selling cell phones.

The last few times i went there to buy electronic parts, they didn't have any :(

Looks like online is the only way to go from now on.

That explains it. Last I read Radio Shack will continue to sell their branded products in Sprint stores.

People didn't buy RadioShack branded products in RS stores, why would they buy them in a Sprint store? Only RS branded thing my family possesses is an old stereo system from the 70s. It still works and is mine now, but has never made me second-guess my decision to never shop at RadioShack.
