At one time Tandy Leather was under the same coporate umbrella as the now defunct Radio Shack, but that's all water under the bridge now. Apparently the current regime dates from 1999, and I don't see any news about them being in trouble, but nonetheless this store has closed, and apparently the next nearest is 100 miles away.

  1. I considered making a Radio Shack joke until I read your statement that they really were related! Who knew?

  2. I'm not sure if it's this spot, or the one next to it, but there was a video store here awhile back. Pretty sure it was the last time (winter 2002 or 2003) that I rented a VHS tape. As I recall, it was "Sleepaway Camp 2: Unhappy Campers" a classic slasher flick.

    Thank you Ted for all your hard work!

  3. There used to be one in the strip mall located at Decker and the Trenholm road extension back in the 1980s.

  4. Waaaay back in the early '70s Tandy Leather had a store on N. Main St. near Eau Claire High School. The place smelled wonderful if you are into leather working.

  5. @Andy the video store was on the other side of the shopping center, close to The Kingsman.
