   A blast from the past.

   LAS VEGAS — In the 20th century, it seemed like every town had a   
   RadioShack. The 21st century hasn’t been as kind to the classic   
   brick-and-mortar electronics retailer.   
      
   In 2015, the company was forced into bankruptcy and had to sell off its   
   assets and brand for parts. Eventually, RadioShack was acquired by the   
   Unicomer Group, based in El Salvador and one of the largest franchisees   
   of the brand throughout Central America.   
      
   Now, under the new leadership, RadioShack is attempting to rebuild its   
   reputation by selling consumer electronics. The company had a soft   
   launch last August and took out space at CES in Las Vegas to let the   
   world know that RadioShack isn’t just a remnant of the past — it will   
   also play a role in the future.   
      
   Since reemerging, mostly selling on Amazon and Walmart, RadioShack is   
   finding some success with Bluetooth speakers, which have been their   
   biggest sellers so far. They also have the batteries, cables and   
   components they were once known for. In the future, the company plans to   
   expand with more toy options and become a place for hot gifts, such as   
   the turntables they’re currently selling.   
      
   RadioShack doesn’t intend to take on the highest-end segment of the   
   market. “We’re not looking to compete against Sony or JBL,” a rep told   
   me. But they don’t see their products as budget-level either and view   
   themselves as solidly middle class.   
      
   The goal is to develop more products and, ultimately, win back trust   
   with the American consumer as a place shoppers can rely on for solid   
   performance.   
      
   At BestReviews, we’re eager to test their products to let you know how   
   they stack up with others around the same price point, especially in   
   speakers.

   transportation of unauthorized aliens, concealing or harboring   
   unauthorized aliens, encouraging or inducing unauthorized aliens to   
   enter the United States, and engaging in a conspiracy or aiding and   
   abetting any of the preceding acts. Subsection 1324(a)(2) prohibits   
   bringing or attempting to bring unauthorized aliens to the United States   
   in any manner whatsoever, even at a designated port of entry. Subsection
