The once-ubiquitous RadioShack has shuttered more than 1,000 stores in the past few days and by the end of today will only have 70 company-owned stores remaining. The electronics retailer held a liquidation sale over Memorial Day weekend.
The sale was the company’s last move “before we close the stores for good,” it said in a statement. Around 500 dealer-owned stores will remain open.
From its beginnings in Boston in 1921, Fort Worth-based RadioShack grew to 7,300 stores, with a store less than a half-hour’s drive from 95% of all American households. In addition to being a convenient source for cables and do-it-yourself radio kits, RadioShack sold the TRS-80, one of the earliest laptop computers.
A growing list of retailers have filed for bankruptcy so far in 2017, including The Limited, Hhgregg, Payless Shoe Source, BCBG, Wet Seal, Gormans, teen-focused rue21, inc. , Eastern Outfitters, and outdoors apparel and equipment merchant Gander Mountain.
Payless today announced it would close twice the number of stores originally planned in its bankruptcy filing in April, with plans now to shutter more than 800 locations.
