Mansfield RadioShack Closing
The Mansfield location is one of 1,700 stores closing following a company announcement.

The Mansfield RadioShack is closing. The more than 90-year-old company announced last week it filed for bankruptcy protection and announced a list of store closures.
The Mansfield RadioShack is located on School Street across from Mansfield Crossing.
Stores on the closure list are expected to sell their remaining inventory, according to a statement from the company. Many stores have been reported to have started sales immediately following the announcement.
