Tandy was a well-known American retailer that specialized in electronics and computer products. Founded in 1919, the company initially sold leather goods but later expanded into the burgeoning computer market during the 1970s and 1980s. Tandy is particularly recognized for its line of personal computers, including the popular TRS-80. In addition to computers, Tandy offered a variety of accessories, software, and electronic components. The company operated several retail chains, including RadioShack, which became synonymous with electronics shopping in the United States. Over the years, Tandy faced increasing competition and eventually shifted its focus, leading to the decline of its retail presence.
