Circuit City purchased Intertan, the company who held the Canadian Radio Shack License. RadioShack of course refused to let them use their brand. Now Circuit City's only presence up here is called "The Source", which is just the old Radio Shack stores with a new sign. Not only did we lose our Radio Shacks (who is frantically trying to regroup), but the long awaited competitor to Best Buy/ Future Shop is reduced to a bunch of tiny shops in icky malls. I feel gypped!
That being said, I find most of what I need at Price Club.
