�Consumers trust RadioShack�s helpful experts who work together with them to find just the right products and services for their connected lifestyles,� said Peter Whitsett, executive vice president and general merchandising manager for RadioShack. �It�s a highly mobile world and consumer choices are becoming more complex every day.
