In the last three years, RadioShack has filed for bankruptcy twice and closed nearly all of its corporate stores. But in the wake of the former retail giant’s death, independently owned franchise versions of the store have reinvented the brand and are actually doing pretty well—they’re even expanding.

Earlier this year, a location in Pocatello, Idaho, a small city in the southeast corner of the state, attracted a crowd of 250 people when it opened. The owners, Vern and Dalyn Murray, already owned a location just up the highway in Blackfoot, and have had so much success with the new location, they told the Idaho State Journal that they’re considering expanding to a third store.
