Save Tax Dollars - and Gas - by Visiting One of More Than 6,000 Convenient
Neighborhood RadioShack Stores or Shopping Online at RadioShack.com

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- According to the
National Retail Federation, the average family is expected to spend almost
$600 on back-to-school purchases this year. To help ease the burden, several
states -- including Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and the District of Columbia --
are offering back-to-school tax free holidays as a way for people to save
money on the purchase of various types of school related items, including
certain electronic devices. However, it's somewhat self defeating if it takes
a gallon or two of $4 gas for a customer to drive several miles to an outlying
or remote retail destination to realize those tax savings.
Instead, RadioShack offers two solutions for residents of these 10 states
to save both at the cash register and the gas pump: -- Shop at a nearby
neighborhood RadioShack store, usually just minutes
from where most people live or work, or
-- Shop online at http://www.RadioShack.com

RadioShack invites news outlets to use their own neighborhood RadioShack
store as a backdrop for tax-free and back-to-school shopping stories.
RadioShack's renowned knowledgeable sales associates can discuss the
electronics that qualify for tax-free purchases as well as what's hot with the
back-to-school crowd. To locate the nearest store that is best for your
needs, call or e-mail RadioShack media relations at 817-415-3300 or

Specific state-by-state tax free details, including what does and doesn't
qualify under each state's regulations, are available by visiting

tax-free events that include certain consumer electronics merchandise include
Alabama, District of Columbia, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, New Mexico, North
