"RadioShack, formerly RadioShack Corporation, is the trade name of an American retailer founded in 1921. Since 2017, General Wireless Operations Inc. has licensed the name from General Wireless IP Holdings LLC, in which Kensington Capital Holdings owns a majority stake. RadioShack operates primarily as an e-commerce website, a network of approximately 500 independently-owned authorized dealer stores, and as a supplier of parts for HobbyTown.
At its peak in 1999, it had operated stores under either the name RadioShack or Tandy in the United States, Mexico, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada. While outside of those listed areas, the company had sold licenses to other companies to be able to use the RadioShack brand name in other parts of the world that had included parts of Asia, North Africa, Latin America, and the Caribbean. On February 5, 2015, RadioShack Corporation filed for Chapter 11 protection under United States bankruptcy law after 11 consecutive quarterly losses. By then, it was operating only in the United States and Latin America." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2020)
