===Incredible Universe=== The [[Incredible Universe]] concept was Tandy's attempt to compete with other electronics giants such as [[Best Buy]], [[Circuit City (1949β2009 company)|Circuit City]], and [[Lechmere]]. A joint venture between Tandy Corporation and [[Trans World Entertainment]], the first two stores, located in [[Arlington, Texas]], and [[Wilsonville, Oregon]], opened in 1992. Each Incredible Universe store stocked more than 85,000 items, and the stores' sales personnel did not work on commission. Sales were below average compared to Tandy's profitable RadioShack line, and by late 1996, the company had decided to sell or close all 17 Incredible Universe stores.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/123196/tandy.htm|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20050425030240/http://www.lubbockonline.com/news/123196/tandy.htm|url-status=dead|title=Lubbock Online | Lubbock Avalanche-Journal<!-- Bot generated title -->|archivedate=April 25, 2005}}</ref> Many Incredible Universe stores were acquired by [[Fry's Electronics]].
