1500 Stores? We have 4 in the area, and probably 10 more in a 30 mile radius. They have more franchise stores too - in many small towns, the Radio Shack is a franchise, not company owned. I know of two (in WV) that pay the franchise fee and get the discounted prices on parts and accessories - they couldn't give a dang about selling any other RS products - and Radio Shack has no real stake in their operation, provided they fork over the franchise fee and "the little off the top" each month. This in exchange for being the only place in town selling HDMI cables, Coax and coax connectors, and the obligatory antennas and remotes. Cell phones? Nah, they wouldn't want to take that on.
