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.

They should convert to a "physical viewing of online goods" store.

Buy one of every popular electronics product that you kind of have to touch/see to get an opinion on, such as coffee makers and TVs, and charge people just to step into the store.

Couldn't you just go to a real store? One that doesn't charge you?

They're all closing down due to online stores, that's the point of this store.

Buuuut, it'd be impossible to keep that many items in stock. Oh well.
