   It is apparently not the same as the old Radio Shack.

      Yes, RadioShack still exists, but it's a completely different business: the   
      iconic electronics retailer went through bankruptcy and now operates mostly   
   online,   
      selling consumer gadgets and accessories, while a few independently-run   
      franchise stores (often hardware or phone shops) still carry the name,   
   though   
      they're a shadow of the past. The brand's IP was acquired, leading to a   
   focus   
      on e-commerce, crypto ventures, and new products like headphones and drones,   
      not the hobbyist parts stores of old."
