Tandy Corporation was an American company founded in 1919, originally focused on leather goods. Over the years, it expanded into electronics and became well-known for its retail chain, RadioShack, which specialized in selling electronic components and consumer electronics. In the 1980s, Tandy Corporation was a significant player in the personal computer market, producing the Tandy 1000 series. However, the company faced challenges in the 1990s and eventually shifted its focus away from retail, leading to the decline of its brand and the sale of its assets.
