We debuted our new store format here in June at Broadway and 81st St., and we continue to launch our new interactive concept stores in the city as a way to introduce not only New Yorkers, but visitors from across the country and around the world to the new RadioShack. This location opened within five days after construction began and offers top brands and must-have technology and accessories our customers want and need. Neighbors and commuters are invited to come see the newer, brighter RadioShack and take advantage of holiday deals on top brand products.

RadioShack will match advertised prices on identical products through its Price Match Guarantee promotion, in-store only.

Concept Store Features At approximately 2,000 sq. ft., this pop-up store is modeled after RadioShack's exciting new concept store format.
