Retailer Radio Shack Making US Comeback

A big big deal in the US, where the sound of hams rejoicing will resonate around the world: The beloved electronics retailer Radio Shack, is returning to the US marketplace under new ownership.

The Radio Shack name is coming back from a difficult history that ended its pervasive presence with more than 5,000 locations around the US. The company filed for bankuptcy twice under its previous ownership and only a handful of its franchised locations were able to maintain a market presence.

“This acquisition will allow us to start another phase of growth and innovation in the shopping experience with the latest technology.”

— Rudy Siman

Now the brand's largest franchisee - the Unicomer Group, based in El Salvador - has acquired the company.
