Radio Shack Black Friday Ad

The first RadioShack store opened in 1921 in Boston, Mass. "RadioShack" is a nautical term that dates back to the invention of the radio at the turn of the 20th century. At the time, wireless radio equipment aboard ships was generally housed above the bridge in a wooden structure called the "radio shack." The founders thought the name appropriate for a new retail business that supplied electronic equipment to "ham" radio operators and ships' radio officers. Today, RadioShack is one of the nation’s most experienced and trusted consumer electronics specialty retailers. The company has a presence through almost 6,000 company-operated stores and dealer outlets in the United States. Their dedicated force of knowledgeable and helpful sales associates has been consistently recognized by several independent groups as providing the best customer service in the consumer electronics and wireless industries. Operating from convenient and comfortable neighborhood and mall locations, their stores deliver personalized product and service solutions within a few short minutes of where most Americans either live or work, providing you with the electronics and gizmos that you need.
