The author is likely Canadian given their current biography snippet. There were Radio Shacks in Canada, before they ended up being renamed The Source in 2004[0]. So in 2009, the year cited in the article, they would have gone to "The Source", but likely still thought of it as Radio Shack, the old name of the chain.
