Here’s a company that could be the New Radio Shack: Frys -

34 stores and counting. People love Frys.

I get Fry’s email blast. Great deals, but they also sell Raspberry Pi, Arduino, canakit, and other kits for robotics. Lucky to find a single kit in the RS store, much less parts, components, etc. I buy from sparkfun or adafruit usually.

I live near one of their first stores.

At their peak for retail sales, the parking lot was full. A few weeks I stopped by the store, and was quite surprised how few vehicles were in the lot.

I assume that their online business is offsetting the fewer cars in the lot.

Prices great. Selection large.

Have you been in a Fry’s? I should love that place but it’s a bit creepy. What’s with all the Alice in wonderland motif

I was one of the first customers in the first Fry’s. Had a love hate relationship with them for decades. At one point they were just completely screwed up and almost augered in. Seem to have their act together now.
