RadioShack, sometimes spelled Radio Shack, is still an American electronics retailer that dates back to 1921. When they were purchased in the 1960's by Tandy Corporation, RadioShack blossomed into a massive brand with stores all across America. But into the late 90's and 2000's, they suffered a series of major mistakes and failures to adapt to the every changing marketplace. They went through CEO's like skittles, and after a couple bankruptcies they wound up in the hands of a crypto company. It's embarrassing.
