Well, theirs plus the fact of the decline of hard core radio
amateurs/enthusiasts.

The buggy whip people are doing just fine, thank you. They are now
marketing to the sado-masochist/homosexual/necrophiliac Republican
crowd. Business has never been better.

Radio Shack Canada is a few stores owned by
the U.S. parent.
Radio Shack stores were owned by Tandy International (InterTan)
in Canada (Barrie, Ont.) and for (copyright) intellectual
property reasons, changed their name to The Source by Circuit
City, the new owners of InterTan in Canada. [Woolworths bought
InterTan in Australia and they were turned into the iconic
Dick Smith stores.]
Those 950 Source stores are all still active and don't look much
different.
