RadioShack has filed for bankruptcy for the second time in just two years. The electronics retailer announced Wednesday that it will close about 200 stores.

When RadioShack filed for bankruptcy back in 2015, the company was taken over by General Wireless, an affiliate of the hedge fund Standard General. The deal established a partnership with Sprint to open co-branded stores. The plan wasn't successful.

We headed to a RadioShack store in New York's Flatiron neighborhood to find out what the brand is doing wrong.
