RadioShack Re-branding Itself as 'The Shack'

[citation][nom]riquisimo[/nom]Circuit City changed its name to "the City" a month before it went outta business too...[/citation]
Good that means RS will also be out-of-business in a month too, right? What I always hated was them asking me for my phone number when I shoped there. Are the clerks that hard up for dates? It was a definit turn of for me shopping there.

The name is the least of thier problems... Thier biggest issue... the ultra high prices.

I guess "The Shaq" was already taken.

Two words come to mind: EPIC FAIL

They offer no value to the world. Everything they offer can be bought elsewhere much much cheaper.

The "Love Shack" sounds a lot better. But they could have gone with "RS" like KFC, IHOP and a bunch of other businesses that have shortened their names to better cater to attention deficit afflicted individuals.

Yeah I agree. Why name it "The Shack"? It's always a pun to tell your friend that he lives in a shack, when his living arrangements are shoddy. Isn't a shack usually one of those tin buildings you keep your lawn mower and other gardening supplies in? They usually reek of lawn trimmings and pesticides.

So we can eat at The Hut, buy electronics at The Shack, and soon we'll be living in apartment complexes called The Hovel. Brilliant.
