Radio Shack to Drop "Radio" from it's Name and Just Be Known as "Shack".


The old-time popular electronics chain store, formerly known as Radio Shack, has just announced it's plans to change it's name to simply "Shack". This change will help reflect on the world's change to digital appliances and downloads, and their abandonment of radios.

While it's true that the name "Radio Shack" implies that the store isn't keeping up with the new electronics available to today's youth, I don't think "Shack" is much of an improvement. Seriously, who wants to shop at a store known as the "Shack"?

What do you think of the name change?
