Re: [Swlfest] RadioShack to Launch First Wave of Store-Closing Sales
On Monday, I visited some of the Baltimore area stores which are closing. One clerk was ringing up Final sales and apologizing for being on the phone at the same time with a prospective employer. In the past year, the three stores where I regularly shop seemed to have younger employees probably under 30 years of age and a lot of turnover. I'm sure we all did our best to keep Radio Shack in business over the years.

Although it was looking rather empty despite nothing being on sale,the staff there were of the firm opinion that they weren't going anywhere. I've seen this before. During the last 2 RS down sizings product was moved either to other stores or to wholesalers for a better price than they think it will fetch in the store - and then the store closes. I wouldn't be holding my breath I went to the sale near me in the Short Hills Mall. They had nothing but cellphones and satellite TV. Al of their hobby Maker stuff was gone but they labels on the pegs it was on did not show sale prices.However, if you were in need of a cordless phone or a microphone cable you were in luck.

This Wall Street Journal artâicle below has a link to an interactive map of Radio Shack stores having liquidation sales. Good luck to everyone on their search through stores near them! http://www.wsj.com/articles/radioshack-to-launch-first-wave-of-store-closing-sales-1423257675 -Ed Cummings ___ Swlfest mailing list Swlfest@hard-core-dx.com http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swlfest To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to swlfest-requ...@hard-core-dx.com?subject=unsubscribe, or visit the URL shown above.
