Doesn't Hobby Lobby cater to crafts & framing? I don't see how Radio Shack would dovetail with this, unless you're suggesting they could broaden the tent for what they consider hobbies.

Hobby Lobby is doing well enough without the added burden of taking on the sales of electronic parts . Think of the additional liability insurance they'd need to carry , in this day and age of a lawsuit for just about anything coupled with no more personal responsibility for one's own mistakes , consider this ;

Hobby Lobby , selling electronic parts , sells someone some resistors who hasn't a clue of how to solder , the clueless one then goes and burns his house down with the soldering iron , and BA BAM , instant lawsuit .

Sad times we're living in when such a wild scenario isn't all THAT far fetched , no , I can't see a company like Hobby Lobby that's doing well taking on such risk ....

They do more than Crafts and Framing. They do model hobbies and model kits also a great deal.
