    Reddit thread: If compamies had realistic slogans what would they be?

    Top comment: Radioshack: We're still in business, go figure.

    **** that hurts when this company is responsible for much of schooling.

    Radioshack sucks though... They only care about cell phone contracts now. Have you seen their soldering irons and how much they charge for a simple breadboard? Just buy all your **** from sites like Sparkfun. They have a lot of kits ranging from beginner to advanced too which are wonderfully priced imo.

    I don't know, Radio Shack, well Tandy, was kind of a Fort Worth pride. My grandfather even ran the company at one point, so its just depressing to see something fall so far. I guess I shouldn't care because no one I know works there now, and I doubt anyone in family owns stock in it. Despite all that it bums me out.

    Radio Shack was acquired by the Tandy Corporation in 1963. At it's peak it owned Tandy Leather (what Tandy started), Pier 1 Imports, and Radio Shack.

    "Charles Tandy died unexpectedly in 1978, and Philip North, a company director, took his place as interim chief executive officer. North, who had been Tandy's administrative assistant and childhood friend, used his knowledge of the founder's management style to guide the firm and actively consulted with Tandy's Distribution and Manufacturing Vice President John Roach about technical aspects of the electronics business. Roach had been instrumental in convincing Charles Tandy to venture into the computer market—a move which kept Radio Shack profitable in the late 1970s despite a declining citizens-band radio market. After Tandy's death Roach became executive vice president of the electronics chain. In 1980 he replaced North as chief executive officer and in 1982 became chairman of the board."

    Most of the stores survive as cellphone stores now... But the company hasn't really been profitable since Philip North was replaced.
