|    Radio Shack is back, sort of    |

      From: LM@tutanato.com              A blast from the past.              https://kdvr.com/reviews/br/apparel-br/holiday-br/is-radioshack-       ack-brand-attempts-return-to-relevance-with-consumer-products/              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.       --       "Title 8, U.S.C. § 1324(a) defines several distinct offenses related to       aliens. Subsection 1324(a)(1)(i)-(v) prohibits alien smuggling, domestic       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       1324(a)(3)."              “Western values mean three things: mass-migration, LGBTQ, and war."       Viktor Orban              You voted for student loan forgiveness. You got demographic replacement       and World War III.              https://www.globalgulag.us              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
