Lexington’s last two Radio Shack stores are closing
Radio Shack announced last week that it will shutter 365 more stores, including the last two in Lexington.
The Lexington stores to be closed are at 1301 Winchester Road and 524 West New Circle Road. They are the last Radio Shack stores in Lexington.
The company said on its website that the stores in Georgetown and Berea also are closing.
Remaining stores closest to Lexington will be in Frankfort, Richmond and Mount Sterling.
Radio Shack, an electronics retailer based in Fort Worth, Texas, recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection for the second time in slightly more than two years.
About 1,850 of RadioShack’s 5,900 employees are expected to be affected by the moves.
In 2015, Lexington stores at Fayette Mall, Hamburg and South Farm Marketplace, off Nicholasville Road and Man o’ War Boulevard, closed. Radio Shack stores in Paris, Nicholasville, Danville and Winchester also were closed at that time.
