Origins of RadioShack

The first RadioShack store opened in 1921 in Boston, Mass. "RadioShack" is a nautical term that dates back to the invention of the radio at the turn of the 20th century. At the time, wireless radio equipment aboard ships was generally housed above the bridge in a wooden structure called the "radio shack." The founders of RadioShack thought the name appropriate for a new retail business that supplied electronic equipment to "ham" radio operators and ships' radio officers. RadioShack became known as the place to go for help getting the most out of technology – and it still is today. Click here to learn more about our history.
