one of the biggest reasons why radioshack did well in the past was because rural towns didnt have big name electronic stores and radioshack had that niche. but with internet came online giants like amazon to take on even those rural town niche markets.

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?

it is such a weird move that an online retail is opening a physical outlet.
