To Joe and other chatlisters; regarding the post about the status of the Pittsboro RadioShack.
The RadioShack in Pittsboro is a franchise business independently owned by me for over ten years. We thank each and every one of you for your support over the time we have been in business. It is our intention to REMAIN OPEN as long as we are able to continue to serve our community in a meaningful manner.
RadioShack corporate owned stores are the only ones being affected. Following is an excerpt from the company’s press release:
“The result of that review is our decision, announced today, to close up to 1,100 stores. This action will shrink our Company-owned stores’ footprint by up to one-quarter. Including our dealer franchise network of 900 locations and growing number of college bookstore locations, we will still have over 4,000 retail locations in the US following the closures. We believe our business will be optimized and competitive at this level here in the United States. And we continue to have a strong international presence in over 30 countries…”
The staff here at RadioShack in Pittsboro thank the Pittsboro community for its support in the past and look forward to many more years to come.
