Electronics chains' tussle over Canadian stores has heads spinning
"Once a final ruling is issued by the court, Circuit City and its InterTan subsidiary fully intend to appeal to protect our rights under the license agreement and for exclusive use of the RadioShack brand in Canada until 2009," said Brian E.
...1 chain of consumer electronics stores in the United States, has already established itself as the industry leader in Canada, with almost 30 percent of the market, said Ed Strapagiel, vice president of the market research firm Kubas Consultants in Toronto.
...Strapagiel said the turf war between Circuit City and RadioShack can't be good for either company, since shopping malls probably won't be able to support both stores, which are typically smaller and compete for more convenience-driven consumers.

Wow, I thought the case was settled. This could really put a crimp in RadioShack's growth plans.
