1,800 RadioShack Stores Closing, 8 in San Diego County

Eight of the 34 RadioShack stores in San Diego County will be closed as part of the fallout from the struggling electronics retailer’s bankruptcy filing, according to a list released Monday.

Nearly 1,800 outlets will be shut down nationwide, while the rest of RadioShack’s stores — roughly 2,200 — will be sold to wireless carrier Sprint and a hedge fund that was the 95-year-old company’s biggest investor.

The eight to be closed in the region are in:

— Carmel Mountain Ranch, 11865 Carmel Mountain Road;

— Chula Vista, 510 Broadway;

— La Jolla, 8849 Villa La Jolla and 915 Pearl Street in the downtown village area;

— La Mesa, Grossmont Center;

— Murphy Canyon, 3462 Murphy Canyon Road;

— Rancho Bernardo, 16763 Bernardo Center Drive; and

— Santee, Santee Trolley Square.

RadioShack has suffered financial losses in 11 of its past 12 quarters.
