  RadioShack

  • Store Manager

    • Apr 1970 - Aug 1973

    What can you say about being a Radio Shack manager, you stock shelves, manage employees and hours, keep the store clean and come up with innovative store displays. Have knowledge of inventory, salesmanship and selling technique. Manage daily cash flow, and daily bank deposits. It helps to have an electronic background and sales. I also traveled the USA opening stores in the early 1970’s. The store fronts would be leased and remolded, I would get to town, make a point of meeting the mayor and other city officials, a semi trailer would be parked next to the store with everything the store needed to be opened, inventory, displays, furniture, ect I would have 6 to 8 days to finish and open the store. Stock, hire, train, and handle the opening weekend, then turn the store over to the manager that I hired and move to the next location. I opened 22 stores during that period of about a year.
