RadioShack Corporation
ningcontentRadioShack is a leading electronics company that helps customers overcome technology barriers by educating, supporting, and encouraging questions. The company began in Fort Worth, Texas when two young men, Norton Hinckley and Dave L. Tandy (1889-1966) decided to work together by opening an electronic mail order business in 1919. It was unknown at the time, but Dave L. Tandy’s oldest son, Charles Tandy, would acquire his father’s niche for business. Charles Tandy’s abilities kept his ambitions alive during the WWII when many companies were struggling.
Half way across the nation, two brothers named Theodore and Milton Deutschmann, opened a small company called ‘RadioShack’ in Boston. By 1921 RadioShack was the leading electronic mail order business in Northeast of Boston. The small, hobbyist store sold radio equipment to the ships throughout the US. Soon, the company focused on local neighborhoods throughout the Boston area which lead to its expansion in 1960.
In 1960, franchises were established in nine retail locations. RadioShack remained a small, enthusiasts store until Charles Tandy acquired the struggling company in 1963. The role of electronics was in a booming stage by 1970s which lead to more coverage in the areas of personal computers (TRS-80), citizen band (CB) radios, and the first mobile cellular phone. Charles Tandy’s vision for success is the reason recent college grads have an opportunity to continue his legacy and accomplish their dreams of leadership in technology.
