You can only bring back one. Which do you choose?

wrote on last edited by [email protected]Toys R Us didn't die. It was murdered by venture capital leeches.
Similar with Radio Shack, though I don't know the details of why they went from basically the only electronic parts shop to a giant mall kiosk.

Sure? Thought they are now called Smyth's or something.
Not here; They're still called Toys "R" Us.
And from looking at the Wikipedia for Smyths it seems that they bought the Toys "R" Us stores in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Not really the same thing as here (Portugal, btw), I think, since they kept the branding, but IDK, I'm not an IP lawyer...

An obligatory "Fuck Blockbuster:" They sucked compared to the local rental shops.
This is probably true, but I remember Blockbuster was good at renting out trash movies. While Netflix does this also, some of them no streaming service wants to or can pick up today. Like the old Mario movie or the weird Red Riding Hood movie with Henry Cavill.
That being said, I still wouldn't bring it back. -
Toys R Us. No contest.
I thought they were already opening some stores.

What is a Friendly's?
That is the one I miss. It was an ice cream shop/ restaurant.

RadioShack, with the drawers of capacitors and resistors.
I want DYI kits for everything!

Yes the old radio shack not the new one which was just a 3rd party cell phone carrier.

Radio Shack. And not the recent version. The OLD version with breadboards and soldering irons and electronics kits.
Yes please!

Last I checked there's a Radio Shack in Los Alamos. Uncanny vibes, but it's there

The drawers are the best everywhere. RadioShack? Component drawers. Home Depot? Fastener drawers. On and on.

Radio Shack
No one else has electronic components
Fry's. Some Microcenters. Al Lashers.

The radio shack brand got bought up by the guy who did the "I'm in my garage" ads and now is a front for a crypto exchange.
It's a completely different company using the shell of Radio Shack for brand recognition

I know some who still works for RadioShack in KS. It’s official RadioShack but also it’s its own thing. Idk maybe a franchise or something.

Objectively the right choice.
