Porter and Harvard Square Radio Shacks may close by March 31

[ron_newman]

Radio Shack has released a list of stores they plan to close as part of their bankruptcy reorganization. The Porter Square and Harvard Square stores are listed in the "third tranche", meaning that their going-out-of-business sale will end by March 31.

The CambridgeSide Galleria and Meadow Glen Mall stores are listed in the "second tranche", meaning that they will close by February 28.

Overall, they're closing 43 of their 106 Massachusetts stores. The Central Square and Fresh Pond stores aren't listed, so they're staying open--for now, anyway.

(The three "tranches" are defined in this document.)

It was a waste of Porter Square shopping center space. I thought they were closing it last year but was disappointed to find that they were just renovating it. Hopefully something more valuable moves in there (please not another bank).

Looks like it's being replaced by something considerably more useless -- an AT&T cellphone store.
