Default Radio Shack Canada Closing Down

Radio Shack Canada has announced on its website that it is closing its
nine stores in Canada on Jan 31, 2007 in order to concentrate on its
core business in the USA. Sales begin today but warranties and returns
could be difficult. There are details on its website:

Some discount stores are selling a good selection of RS products at 50%
off.


Not surprising given the changes that have occured over 25 years in
retailing of electronic appliances and the lack of consumer interest in
home electronic repair and experimentation. Radio Shack stores are
more like a small higher priced version of the electronics and toy
department at Target Department stores.
