In terms of this post and Radioshack 3Ds…Radio Shack a lot of you probably think the store has actually been chosen years after all the business applied for bankruptcy in 2015 and closed most company-owned stores a few years later on the keyword there is company-owned shops dealership stores that were owned by independent entrepreneur stayed open one of them happened to be within an hour and a half drive at my area brand-new holland pennsylvania amish country here’s some shots of the outside of the radio shack what i actually loved is how the building kind of resembled a real shack here’s the within the radio shack it looks precisely as i remember basically any kind of electronic or accessory can think about this store probably has the very first wall contained a lot of cb radios and antennas the wall behind the counter held batteries and battery chargers as some of you probably remember to the right of the counter was a wall with some antennas including the infamous antenna i tell people not to purchase but they buy it anyway for those of you who are not familiar with what i think about this design here is a short clip this model it’s scrap scrap
