Our big initiative was to grow more profitable square footage. We want to make more room for faster-growth products.
The bottom line is traffic in and around the impacted stores didn't justify the investments required to make sure customers had a great experience.
For those employees who want to remain with Radio Shack, (the company) will do its best to transfer them to a higher performing store in the same area.
Traffic in the area is no longer sufficient to support a store. The hope is that many of the employees ... will transition to other stores in their market.
This is not an event that is happening tomorrow. Business is usual at our stores at least until May. That's when people will begin to see special sales activities.
In most cases, it was simply a matter that the traffic in the area was no longer sufficient to support that store.
