The Source has basically become a Bell Mobile store. It's a far cry from the Radio Shack days, but in fairness that's what electronics stores have become.
The people who need stuff that Radio Shack/The Source carry are willing to order online, smart phones has eliminated the need for cameras, video cameras, PDAs, mp3 players, heck even mini-systems.
All that's left are cell phones, TV's (with no margin), Blu-Ray players (no margin), video games and systems (no margin) and computers (laptops/tablets/towers all no margin).
When I worked there (no years ago) the push was on accessories as they had markup, but realistically walk into a Source, look around, look as the signs, and uniforms... it's a cell shop that also carries electronics. Heck even the cubicles are gone.
