In 2009, the company became the main sponsor of a new cycling
team, Team RadioShack, with Lance
Armstrong and Johan
Bruyneel as two of the
members.[2]
The company was started as Radio Shack in 1921 by two brothers, Theodore and Milton
Deutschmann, who wanted to provide equipment for the then-nascent field of amateur, or ham, radio.[3] The brothers opened a
one-store retail and mail-order operation in the heart of downtown Boston at 46 Brattle Street, near the site of
the Boston Massacre. They chose the name "Radio
Shack," which was the term for a small,
wooden structure that housed a ship's radio equipment. The Deutschmanns thought the name was appropriate for
a store that would supply the needs of radio officers aboard ships, as well as "ham" radio operators. The
term was already in use - and is to this day - by "hams" when referring to the location of their
stations.
The company issued its first catalog in
1939[4] as it entered
the high-fidelity music market. In
1954, Radio Shack began selling its own private-label products under the brand name Realist, but was subsequently sued
and consequently changed the brand name to Realistic. After expanding to nine
stores plus an extensive mail-order business,[5] the company fell on
hard times in the 1960s. Radio Shack was essentially bankrupt, but Charles
Tandy saw the potential of Radio Shack
and retail consumer electronics and bought the company for $300,000.[6]
