Radio Shack and Duckwall-ALCO in a co-branding deal.

The company said that the agreement will enable those ALCO stores to sell RadioShack’s product line and enable RadioShack to further grow its franchise retail presence in the area.

Paul Rickels, RadioShack’s vice president-dealer franchise said, “This enables us to offer our broad line of consumer electronics to customers who otherwise might not have access to the latest products and technologies. Convenient store locations in neighborhoods across the country are a part of our heritage, and Duckwall-ALCO enables us to cost-effectively build on that tradition.”
