Nick Cannon Joins RadioShack As Chief Creative Officer

I think Radio Shack has a similar problem to GM and Ford pre-2008: over capacity. People aren’t going to buy radios and TVs in small stores in malls anymore. They are buying in big box stores or online. So shut down many of their stores. The rest, I would re-brand as Maker Stores like Yo suggests. That’s a trend and the days of Radio Shack carrying resistors is not completely forgotten. Double up with a strong online presence (need it now, go the store, need it tomorrow, buy online) and you have a real strategy for the next 20 years.
