Radio Shack owns a company called Kiosk Operations Inc., and last month they opened kiosks in “about 100 Target stores in Minnesota, California, Georgia, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas and Washington,” according to the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal. Sales have been good enough that now they’re expanding to all 1,700 Targets before the end of next year.
Minneapolis-based Target plans to expand the concept to all of its roughly 1,700 stores in 2010, spokeswoman Jana O’Leary said. “This provides added convenience for our guests. They can do their Target shopping trip, grab some groceries and address any cell phone needs they may have.”
Customers probably won’t notice much of a change. The kiosks sell Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T phones and service plans, as well as various prepaid phones and calling cards; those are the same products and services already offered by Target.
