"Veteran bargain DX'er Saul Broudy turned me on to this internal Radio Shack document showing 1784 stores slated to close soon."
The WSJ map is a little easier to read. I learned that the store in my hometown is slated for closure (Haverhill MA). Nearby ones in Plaistow NH, Lawrence MA, and one of the two in Salem NH will be spared. Salem NH has two malls adjacent to each other, and both have RS stores. "If one of these stores is near you, it might pay to check it out. I agree that some stock is likely to be sold off wholesale to liquidators, but there'll still be some pretty deep retail discounts in stores slated for closing. " Another thing that is common in retail chain store closings, and I honestly don't know if this will be the case with Radio Shack - is that merchandise is actually brought INTO stores - if a store is going out of business, but has a high enough foot traffic factor, things might be brought into that store to take advantage of the situation. But I don't know how RS is planning to do this. _______________________________________________ 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.
