Those locations will be identified with RadioShack signage. HobbyTown markets remote-controlled cars and boats as well as drones and other hobby-related merchandise.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">RadioShack shuttered all of its company-owned retail outlets. Its last unsuccessful effort to bail itself out of debt involved a deal with cellular provider Sprint. HobbyTown USA has 140 retail outlets, and, according to the Post article, RadioShack eventually could carve out a presence — on the order of 500 square feet — in all of them. HobbyTown USA stores in Parker, Colorado, and Mooresville, North Carolina, will be among the first to host RadioShack express stores.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">“HobbyTown is purchasing the RadioShack merchandise and offering it to its hobbyist customers who need the tools, wires, and other accessories that RadioShack makes,” the Post article said.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">The article quoted Steve Moroneso, chief executive of General Wireless Operations Inc. — an affiliate of hedge fund Standard General which acquired RadioShack in 2015 — as saying that RadioShack’s strategy now is not to own brick-and-mortar stores. RadioShack came out of bankruptcy in January with 400 dealers, an online retail presence, and a distribution center. General Wireless acquired the 1,743 retail outlets that survived RadioShack’s 2015 bankruptcy.<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">Moroneso also told the Post that there is “plenty of interest from dealers who want to open a full-line Radio Shack.”<br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">Read the full ARRL story at<span> </span><br style="box-sizing:border-box"><a href="http://www.arrl.org/news/view/radioshack-express-stores-to-open-in-hobbytown-usa-locations" target="_blank" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration:none;word-wrap:break-word">http://www.arrl.org/news/view/radioshack-express-stores-to-open-in-hobbytown-usa-locations</a><br style="box-sizing:border-box"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">New York Post article<span> </span><br style="box-sizing:border-box"><a href="https://nypost.com/2018/07/13/radioshacks-comeback-is-taking-shape/" target="_blank" style="box-sizing:border-box;color:rgb(0,51,102);text-decoration:none;word-wrap:break-word">https://nypost.com/2018/07/13/radioshacks-comeback-is-taking-shape/</a></p>
