Lexington Radio Shack closing

RadioShack located in the Food Lion-anchored Towne Square Shopping Center at 736 W. Main St. in Lexington will close in September.

The closing is part of a massive nationwide store closing announced by RadioShack Corp. last March as part of the company’s bankruptcy. The company plans to close or sell all of its 4,000 stores nationwide. Six Columbia area RadioShacks closed in 2015. The remaining area RadioShack is at 2367 W. Augusta Rd. in West Columbia. A closing date for that location has not been announced yet.

In addition to Food Lion, the remaining stores in the Towne Square Shopping Center are H&R Block, Tae Kwon Do, Terry’s Barber Shop, Musician’s Supply and USA Nails. Dollar General left the shopping center last year, leaving six vacancies in the center which is positioned on a highly trafficked stretch of Lexington’s W. Main Street/U.S. Hwy. 1/U.S. Hwy. 378.
