[NJARC] Closing, A Store Near You

[Robert Bennett]

I can remember the days of my childhood where stores like Radio Shack, and others were so magical that you could'nt wait to see all the things in the store, check out the yearly catalogue, and buy the pieces you needed for your next project. I loved the Radio Shack "Battery Club" card - remember them? After reading the article myself, it's really no suprise they are in finacial limbo. When was the last time you went to Radio Shack and while you were looking for hopefully something of substance,and a college kid tries to sell you a cell phone? Heck, you can go to BJ's or Costco and get a cell phone now. It's just another clear example of a business trying to keep up with an ongoing "global economy" that is just running out of steam. I"m no financial wizard but if I owned stock in Radio Shack, I'd be on the phone with the stockbroker, or online taking the money and run! They should change their slogan to: You have questions - We have empty storefronts!
