As someone who worked at RadioShack, I would only want to bring it back if we could have owners who care about electronics and technology more and making profits less. I got to live the decline as they tried to become a cell phone store, and then got destroyed by big box stores and provider stores in that market. RadioShack would need to stay in its lane. Electronics, home theater, computers.

If you have a MicroCenter in your area, it will have all this for you, tho, so I honestly would pick ToysRUs. There just isn't a real "fun focused" retailer anymore. Even adults could feel like kids at ToysRUs.

Agreed. I kiss RadioShack but by the end it wasn’t what it was, and Microcenter still is.

Toys R Us, I am just sad my kid will never experience it. My wallet is happy though.
