Ten Area Radio Shack Stores To Close

Ten of 24 Rochester-area Radio Shack stores are part of that company's first round of closings, after it filed for bankruptcy protection on Friday.

WXXI reviewed a newly posted "potential store closing list" of 1784 Radio Shack locations.

Four stores from Rochester are on the list, including The Mall at Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall, Chili Paul Plaza and on Howard Road in Gates.

Other nearby stores to begin going out of business sales include the Radio Shacks in Batavia, Canandaigua, Dansville, Geneseo, Newark and Victor.

Under the bankruptcy plan, Sprint is to open mini-shops in as many as 1,750 of Radio Shack's remaining stores.
