RadioShack co-branding plan wins court approval

London

A PLAN To salvage RadioShack Corp's business by co-branding most of its 1,740 surviving stores with cellular phone provider Sprint Corp earned US bankruptcy court approval on Tuesday, ending four days of contested court hearings.

The stores are what survived of more than 4,000 outlets after RadioShack went bankrupt in February. Founded in 1921, the chain was a go-to retailer for electronics before becoming increasingly irrelevant in the digital age.
