Yep, they sell model rockets, RC airplanes, cars, etc. and now some RadioShack parts. I wish there were more in metro Atlanta but it is what it is. Sad to hear from Ron, WW8RR today that Ack Radio had closed down. I have fond memories of purchasing parts, tools, etc. there as a student and later employee at Georgia Tech.

I'm showing only 2 Hobby Towns in the metro Atlanta area -one in Kennesaw and one in Buford. At least they are open on Sunday.

Not Hobby Lobby. HobbyTown. Very different places.

Keep in mind, though, that Hobby Lobby is closed on Sundays. However, if you go on line, there is a 40% off one item coupon that you might be able to use. Read the mice type.

Hello everyone. FYI, RadioShack is back sorta. They have cut a deal with HobbyTown to carry some RadioShack product in their stores. See the email below. I went by the HobbyTown in Buford today. Sign on the door saying RadioShack here now. Went in and looked around. They have a limited selection of some parts, wire, etc. The store manager said that more stuff would be coming in. So the next time you need a resistor, capacitor, LED, rectifier diode, hookup wire, etc. and can’t wait for two days to order it from Amazon check to see if there is a HobbyTown near you. They might have what you need.
