If you read this excerpt of this report, it doesn't make much
sense..............

900+ Radio Shack stores in Canada will have to change their name by the
end of June to "The Source by Circuit City."
Mike Kowal, an exec VP at Radio Shack (USA) arrived in Toronto
yesterday to scout new locations for new Radio Shacks across the
country.
He said, "Our goal is to be in some key cities in a key number of
locations by this Christmas...Our goal is to be aggressive this year,
and to have stores and re-establish our presence within the country."
He said, "Radio Shack is determined to remain the dominant
small-store electronics specialty chain in Canada. The new stores will
have an updated and brighter look."





Makes sense to me. Looks like RS Canada stores as were have been bought by
Circuit City. Tandy corporate told them they have to change the name of
those stores because Tandy's bringing their own stores in and retains the
rights to the name Radio Shack...
