Two Columbia RadioShack Stores Marked to Close

By Deb Belt (Patch Staff)

Two RadioShack stores in Columbia—including one at the mall—are slated to close as the company goes through bankruptcy.

Texas-based RadioShack filed for bankruptcy Feb. 5, while it also announced a deal to sell between 1,500 and 2,400 stores to a mix of companies including Standard General and Sprint, reports Forbes.

On the company’s list of stores to shutter are these locations:

• 10300 Little Patuxent Parkway in Columbia; The Mall in Columbia
• 6365 Dobbin Road in Columbia; Dobbin Center

There is no word on the timeframe for the impending closures.

Out of the company’s estimated 4,000 stores, the Wall Street Journal says 1,750 RadioShack stores may remain open as co-branded Sprint stores. But the rest of the shops will close.
