RadioShack {Radio Shack} Canada and "The Source" -by Circuit City in

Sales begin today but warranties and returns could be difficult. There are details on its website: http://radioshack.ca Some discount stores are selling a good selection of RS products at 50% off. At one point, Radio Shack (US) sold its stores in Canada to a division of Circuit City and then sued to terminate the agreement over the use of the name..No. About 1970, Radio Shack came to Canada, with stores directly under their control. About 20 years ago, they spun off the Canadian operation into a standalone company. That standalone company had a deal with Radio Shack in the US to use the name and sell the products. A few years ago, the standalone company sold itself to Circuit City. Radio Shack in the US didn't like that, in essence their name was being used by a competitor. So they went to court to withdraw the Canadian company's right to use the name. And they won. Hence all the stores in Canada changed their name to "The Source", but by then there were very few Radio Shack branded items in the store. Not only had they been using new brand names, but they'd also started adding non-house brand equipment to the lineup. When the stores had to get rid of the Radio Shack branded items, there was little being cleared out by then. ONce there was no Radio Shack here in Canada, that allowed a clear field for Radio Shack in the US. And obviously they found it too difficult to start from scratch at this late a date. Michael RadioShack {Radio Shack} Canada and "The Source" -by Circuit City in Canada At one time the "RadioShack" Brand Name in Canada was Owned and Operated by InterTan of Canada. InterTan was then bought by Circuit City (USA) The Brand Name dispute became an issue between RadioShack (USA) and Circuit City (USA). http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...5a9b4e218ff14a The result was that the former RadioShack {Canada} Stores became "The Source" -by Circuity City- .

They are now marketing to the sado-masochist/homosexual/necrophiliac Republican crowd. Business has never been better. mike |
