so it seems kinda redundant to me, unless their focus is more like their kindle and amazon-only products for their physical stores..

but thats A LOT of stores to fill just for that stuff..

they want to compete vs apple stores?

i complete agree, mr.alcheng.

I agree with you Mr.kenchan, but that was the past.

nowadays radioshack is being well known of filled with sales-person selling product at high price but they don't have no idea on what they are selling.....

and to make it worse, consumers nowadays like to go to the physical store to look at the product, then order it online for a cheaper price.

thus physical store is acting like a huge show room...

Agree with this 100% Doctor KenChan, many times used Radio Shack
for a emergency need. longer cables for a DVD player to a monitor.
Batteries as Radio Shack stocked even hard to find a rare batteries
and you could even see if they fit your product before purchasing.
