As someone who worked at RadioShack, I would only want to bring it back if we could have owners who care about electronics and technology more and making profits less. I got to live the decline as they tried to become a cell phone store, and then got destroyed by big box stores and provider stores in that market. RadioShack would need to stay in its lane. Electronics, home theater, computers.
If you have a MicroCenter in your area, it will have all this for you, tho, so I honestly would pick ToysRUs. There just isn’t a real “fun focused” retailer anymore. Even adults could feel like kids at ToysRUs.
I’d like to bring back the market environment that made Radio Shack profitable - when the “right to repair” was a given, and not something that needed to be fought for in court.

Thanks for the memories 🥲
Toys r Us is still in business… in Canada. Went there yesterday, in fact.
I would prefer Microcenter make smaller versions of their stores. Like Micro-Microcenters.
And open up a branch that just sells microbiology lab supplies. Like Micro-Micro-Microcenters.
I would choose Jesus and I’m not even Cristian 🤣🤣🤣
You monster. You know the modern Christians would just kill him again. And he wouldn’t fare any better if he came back in a Muslim country either.
That is the point, then we can finally lay Christianity to rest. It is clear the majority of Christians are not followers of Christ. Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
But if he comes back as ancap jebus with muscles we are all going to burn.
Killing off or ignoring their own prophet would force them to recognize they are just authoritarian assholes.
I think you have too much faith in them, ironically.
The fuck mate, I didn’t even see Jesus until you pointed it out.
I mean I kinda gotta go with Jesus so we can end the world already
Toys R Us. I dont know what the other things are
From what I understand radio shack was an American electronics shop, blockbuster was like netflix but in physical form and more expensive. And the dude in the bottom right is Charles Manson.
RadioShack, the real thing but modernised, like Fry’s and microcenter but way more hardcore. It’s not even a contest
Radio Shack would be great as a maker store, selling things like components/parts/materials, Arduino/RPi boards, 3D printers, tools, etc
What good is Blockbuster when streaming exists?
What good is Toys R Us when kids don’t play with toys anymore and I definitely can’t afford to obsessively collect toys like those who came before me?
Jesus - no
RadioShack was a niche tech store with niche tech stuff. No need to wait an absurd amount of time for random stuff online.
theres a blockbuster in a small town
I think the last one finally closed a few years ago.
I’ve checked on google maps it’s still open
I miss video rental stores.
The exploration, the smell of fresh popped popcorn, the excitement.
Find things you never thought you’d like…Things you’ll never find today cause you’re slaves to the algorithm.
Jesus then ask him to bring ther others back.
RadioShack was great when every electronic was analog and you needed some random VGA to RCA adapter at 9pm on a weekday
Yeah and batteries.
And a capacitor to fix your TV.
There’s also an absurd amount of gamer girls entering the space thanks to “cozy desk TikTok” who get a lot of micro electronics and foreign imports, mechanical keyboards, etc. All they would’ve had to have done was offered pink custom keyboards with jade keycaps and make a hobby out of it, and it would’ve been game. Shoot you could even have sold cat ears in the same section.
Blockbuster, physically seeing the movies that I’m gonna pirate is priceless.
i would probably bring back jesus as i have no brand loyalty, and i think it’d be funniest
