What happened to RadioShack?

Who is Todd's Technology Store and what happened to RadioShack?

These are two repeated questions surrounding downtown Malta since the RadioShack signs were changed to Todd's Technology Store at the end of October.

First of all, the store everyone knows as RadioShack has had the legal business name of Todd's Technology Store, Inc. since it changed ownership from Dan's TV in 1999. Todd's Technology Store was a RadioShack Dealer Franchise Store and for the reason of name and brand recognition, everyone knew the store as RadioShack. The owners of your local technology store are still Eric and Dara Wilke. So, why no RadioShack name?

RadioShack Corporation filed bankruptcy earlier this year and was purchased by another company this past summer. With the restructuring of the new RadioShack there is basically no franchise to be a part of and therefore your local electronics store is now called Todd's Technology Store.

Rest assured, the parts, accessories and electronics you have found on First Street in Malta for over 40 years will continue to be available to support the communities of Phillips County.
