When RadioShack filed for bankruptcy back in 2015, the company was taken over by General Wireless, an affiliate of the hedge fund Standard General. The deal established a partnership with Sprint to open co-branded stores. The plan wasn't successful.

We headed to a RadioShack store in New York's Flatiron neighborhood to find out what the brand is doing wrong.
