Both of these moves are long overdue.

In RadioShack's case I am not sure online sales even helps. I remember a couple years ago hearing a quote from the new CEO that said he took the job, went into one of the stores and said to himself "there is nothing in here that I would buy".

In the case of Staples, there are too many major players in that space, and a space that nobody really needs to go to a home office store anyway because so much is available at Walmart, etc.

But you are right, online sales makes the storefronts less and less useful.
