Next time you need some speaker wire, alligator clips, and RF modulator and a 3-amp diode to MacGyver something together, you'll have one less option to choose from in Sioux Falls.

RadioShack will be closing its Empire Mall store and Western Avenue store by the end of March.

It's all part of nearly 1,800 stores that will be closing nationwide by March 31, 2015.

RadioShack plans to close nine locations here in South Dakota alone. Some of the South Dakota cities affected by the closings include; Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Brookings, Pierre, Watertown and Yankton.

RadioShack was founded in 1921.

The struggling consumer electronics chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on February 5, 2015. Immediately after that announcement the company published a list of 1784 stores which it intends to close by the end of March this year.

The 5615 East Arrowhead Pkwy RadioShack location here in Sioux Falls will remain open as of now.
