Got a coupon in the mail today for $10 off any purchase at RadioShack - no minimum. I will attempt to scan in when I get home.

I only know of one location - at Dixie Outlet Mall in Mississauga.

Ah, so this is for one of the few RadioShack (not Source by CC) stores out there. Interesting....was it in one of the coupon mailers or was it specifically sent to you by RS?

Not in mailer, but yes, Canada Post delivered junk mail. It's a red and black advertisement on a 8.5x11 (legal) size sheet. Coupon is only a small clip out.

RS?

thought all RS --> TS?

they're still some RS in Canada???

i know all the RS --> TS in my area...

Yes, Radio Shack is opening up stores again. They had a legal battle with CC after their takeover of Radio Shack Canada (InterTAN). All the old Radio Shack stores are now The Source.

I believe Radio Shack a handful of stores in Canada right now - probably around 5 or so but more will be opening. Dixie Value Mall is one of them.

Radio shack is reopening stores in canada under the radio shack name after they won the legal battle over interTAN using the radio shack name.


Q. Explain to me the legal situation and the battle to recover your brand in Canada?
A State District Court in Tarrant County, Texas, ruled this past March that a licensing agreement, under which InterTAN had been using our name on its stores across Canada, terminated. Under the Court's ruling, InterTAN will no longer have the right to use the RadioShack name after June 30, 2005.

The most important priority for us was to retain the integrity of the RadioShack brand in Canada.

oh yeah,.. i remember that ^...

there was also an OT thread talkin about RS "comin back"...

didn't really follow up on that thread, so i didn't know the outcome of the lawsuit.

glad that RS is Canadian-owned and operated again :)

but still, in terms of pricing, they better have some good deals or else they're gonna go bankrupt. lol

there's a radioshack in deerfoot mall, calgary. next to grand&toy. didn't go into the store last time i passed by it. thought they are just opening for christmas.. it didn't look like the old RS though.

in any case, i'd still prefer CAN-owned/operated RS than US-owned TS....

Both are US-owned...

Rural, franchise outlets that were RS before can still be RS now.
