Radio Shack has been selling communication equipment since 1921, but according to Bloomberg, the retail chain will not be celebrating a 100th birthday. As part of a bankruptcy deal, RadioShack Corp. will be shutting down their entire chain of 7,000 tech stores, half of which will be reportedly sold to Sprint.

Fine by me. Gone are the days when your could go into a Radio Shack and ask a question about specific part and expect an intelligent answer.

Never been a fan of Radio Shack, kinda surprised they lasted this long.

I used to love radio shack..last time I went in there I couldn't find anything I needed and half the store was cell phones with some hipster self absorbed teen behind the counter.

Lol,true. I think more people buy cell phones than electronic components from them. Most employees I have dealt with are no more knowledgeable than a wal-mart or target Joe Schmo.

most of the radio shacks are just glorified phone sales places anyway, i remember when they had alot of different stuff but last time i went to one it was nearly empty with a large phone counter

I used to build all kinds of gizmos....radio shack was an awesome place to find crazy electronic parts and supplies. . Nobody there even knows what parts are even called these days. Just a cell phone and battery store now

They had some decent entry level ham radios and scanners. Even had a pretty decent shortwave.
