Radio Shack alllllll day

i would probably bring back jesus as i have no brand loyalty, and i think it'd be funniest

Blockbuster definitely. Then I can just rip and upload to jellyfin as many videos as I want. Plus as a kid my parents never let me get the popcorn buckets at the counter and I need to have that experience because I remember them looking so great

As part of WH Smiths. In a tiny corner of the shop, from the looks of it. Hardly the giant warehouse of fun from my youth (along with Jolly Giant), so you can gawp at all the things your parents won't buy you. We haven't even got the Argos laminated book of dreams any more. Do kids not want this stuff any more? Do birthdays and Christmas now just consist of overpriced videogame outfits and the latest devices to watch noisy TikTok videos on?

Smiths will be the Woolworths/Wilkos of the 2030's. Yet another high street shop nobody goes in. The only part of them that could possibly be thriving is the airport shops where you can't even go anywhere else.

It'd be Jesus for me. I love a highly principled man telling me what to do.

Jesus, would be interesting seeing people lose their minds over it. But of course he's probably not real so we'd get nothing.

Question: which Era of Radio Shack? 2000's radio shack was terrible and it's no shock they are gone.

Toys r Us is still in business... in Canada. Went there yesterday, in fact.

Blockbuster Video. It would probably die right away though. I miss browsing the walls of videos.
