Here is what they should do:
1. Become the #1 go to place for Arduino. Stock every Arduino at all times and sell it at the same price as online stores.
2. Create unique and interesting Arduino add ons that are only available at RadioShack.
3. Carry a complete selection of electronics components at the same price that DigiKey sells at, maybe at most 5% more.
4. Hire "tech gurus", a.k.a something akin to the Genius bar at apple where you anyone can ask people who are makers and know their stuff how to integrate/build/put this stuff together.
5. Carry high end, RadioShack branded test equipment (multimeters, soldering irons, digital scopes, etc.)
6. Have weekly tutorial sessions for the uninitiated that are FREE and provide value, not just sales pitches.
7. Also start to stock high end micro controllers/parts that advanced makers would like to have
8. Have on demand 3d printing.
9. Come out with their own programable game console, that has a decent easy to use API -- something the likes of DSL
10. Carry a line of starter kits, books and tutorial materials that you can only get at RadioShack.
That will at least get it on the path back to its 80s glory days.
