Radio City (MN) to Close
« on: September 18, 2018, 11:15:40 AM »

MOUNDS VIEW, Minn. (KMSP) - It's an end of an era for ham radio enthusiasts as the only store in Minnesota closes in the next few weeks.

Radio City in Mounds View has been in business for 36 years, serving generations of loyalists and newcomers to the ham radio community.  The owners have decided to close the store by years end....FYI

Minnesota, the Dakotas, and possibly Montana. Dan and Maline are at that age where retirement starts to look good. I just regret I'm not financially able to help them clear the space and upgrade significantly.

Beats me, never dealt with them.  Found emailing them never yielded response.  At the moment, they appear still open..

This is sad news. These were nice people. Got a couple of items from them. More retailers are always better than less. Sorry to see them go. Did get an email that there is apparently some inventory left that is on sale.

They said in their website by the end of this year (2018), so they stuck to it...

Well, they weren’t listed for sale, as they still ran the show. Probably end up on Craigslist
