Amazon may acquire some of RadioShack’s stores

We reported yesterday that RadioShack is on its last leg and just needs a company to sell its remaining stores to. Now it looks like that company could be Amazon which has reportedly been discussing such a deal with RadioShack for about a month in secret. 

Amazon.com Inc., aiming to bolster its brick-and-mortar operations, has discussed acquiring some RadioShack Corp. locations after the electronics chain files for bankruptcy, two people with knowledge of the matter said. Amazon has considered using the RadioShack stores as showcases for the Seattle-based company’s hardware, as well as potential pickup and drop-off centers for online customers, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the deliberations are private.
