[Scan-DC] Radio Shack--heads up

[Joel Kahn]

Blair:

The CompUSA in Rockville closed almost 2 years ago and was immediately replaced with MicroCenter, which IMHO is 100% better!

As far as Computer City, Erols, Luskins and Dart,  maybe that just means you should not advertise in the Sunday Post if you want to stay in business!

I believe RS tried to get into the computer chain store business too, via an operation known as Computer City. That was in the mid-1990s. I recall they had advertising flyers in the Sunday Washington Post, along with Erols, Luskins, and Dart Drug.

It says they were sold to CompUSA. That makes sense, as I thought they had a store in Alexandria. The old CompUSA, across Duke Street from the Landmark Mall (which itself has the look that it is going under), is now a Big Lots.

When I lived in Atlanta ~15 years ago, Radio Shack opened a new concept store called Tech America.
