Only the corporate owned Radio Shack stores/operations were closed by the bankruptcy. Not the privately owned Radio Shack stores as they are usually still open if they chose to be. Several around here are open as usual as they are privately owned and so was the Radio Shack in Celina, TN when we were in it a couple months ago and who'd first given me this info.
When we got back home I asked the same question at 2 of the local area Radio Shacks and got the very same answer as neither are corporate owned stores and are open as usual and plan to continue as all the items they carry on the shelves are constantly available and will be. Products will be the same but may not have the Radio Shack name or logo on them. Radio Shack simply bought from the same suppliers/manufacturers and had their name/logo/packaging put on them. These same suppliers and manufactures are still in business as usual and supply to many other retailers/wholesalers/electronic item supply etc finished goods manufacturers base and Radio Shack was only a very small part of their annual product supply and sales.
Radio Shack filed bankruptcy not their suppliers or the privately owned stores. May be some differences in some states due to state statutes but I do know about MI, TN, FL, for sure.
