RadioShack is back in Canada

[dmdsoftware2]

Was at Dixie Outlet mall today and saw a new RadioShack store (they also have the old RadioShack store in the mall, now named The Source). Interesting to see how long they survive.

The store is very flashy, full of RadioShack brand name crapola, but very little anything else.

They have a website too,

I was never a big fan of the RadioShack branded crap. I hope they have more in store, or else I doubt that their comeback would last very long.

Is there any derogatory name people use for Radio Shack?

i.e.:

Staples -> Stooples
Best Buy -> Worst Buy
Radio Shack -> ???

I was never able to think of a good one myself.

I bet ya circuit city (the source) sold the naming rights of RadioShack to someone and in turn that someone is trying to revive the brand name.

You can't use that in front of all audiences. Future crap sounds better to me.

Nah, it is Radioshack corporate. They had a big court battle with Circuit City in the US and Radio Shack won the rights to use their name again in Canada. Radioshack of Canada was licensed with the ability to use the name, but they didn't have the rights to sell the name, so all they sold was the operation... Now the real Radio Shack is back in town to setup a new operation with their name again.
