Radio Shack Bankruptcy Means Closure of the Cos Cob Store

The Cos Cob Radio Shack is one of the more than 1,700 stores the company will be closing in coming weeks.

The closures are part of Radio Shack’s bankruptcy proceedings. In addition to the closings, the company has an agreement with Sprint to create a “store within a store,” according to Business Insider.

The company plans to close at least 1,784 stores by March 31, with the closures coming in three waves, or tranches.

The 2,350 square-foot Cos Cob store at 160 E. Putnam Ave., is part of the second wave of closures involving 986 stores, according to Business Insider. Those stores will close by Feb. 28, according to the Business Insider report, that can be found here.

Also slated for closure in the second wave is the store located on the fourth level of the Stamford Town Center shopping mall.

The store in the Riverside Commons shopping center in Riverside was not included in the closure list.
