Radio Shack Closings: Hudson Valley Locations Shuttering

A once-popular gadget and electronic parts retailer is closing dozens of New York stores after filing for bankruptcy for the second time.

A total of 552 Radio Shack stores, — more than a third of the company's total stores — are closing this month, according to BusinessInsider.com.

Nearly 190 stores will close immediately and another 365, which are holding "everything must go" liquidation sales, will close by April. Another 1,000 stores will remain on an evaluation list to see if they remain viable. The report noted that the stores that were closing “reflected the lowest sales velocity and highest rent” within the company.

The announcement comes just two years after the company closed around 1,800 stores in a restructuring effort after posting hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. The company closed more than 1,000 stores after posting sales losses in 2012 and 2013. At that time, the company had around 4,300 stores. It closed 144 stores in New York out of 1,784 stores nationwide including Radio Shacks in Hartsdale, Kingston, Middletown, Mount Vernon, White Plains, Yonkers and Yorktown.

The Putnam County Courier reports that the Radio Shack in Carmel posted a notice in its window last week (it is not on Business Insider's list, below) and that the Radio Shack in Danbury is also slated to close.
