In Reply to: RadioShack files for bankruptcy - again posted by AbeCollins on March 9, 2017 at 07:43:45:
I worked at Radio Shack between 68-71. I lied about my age to get hired at 16. I was also a Store Manager at 19 briefly for $700 month!
Back then Radio Shack merged with Allied Radio and became Allied Radio Shack. We had all the name brands from Sansui, Marantz, Benjamin Miracord, to Dual.
We had a pretty elaborate sound room with many of the top hi-end speakers of the time. I loved it! Alas, I was interested in a girl and needed a better paying job. So reluctantly I went off to heavy industry got my degree and married another girl.
Anyhow, Radio Shack would have stayed in business if they kept it as a niche market. But, NOOOOO they had to get in the cell phone market and basically abandoned the market that made them.
They had way too many stores. I remember at a Managers meeting in Fort Worth Texas old man Tandy saying he wanted a store on every corner!
With less stores and a parts and supply stores theme they would still be around. IMHO
