InterTAN Company Description
InterTAN Canada takes customers to the source for electronics. The company operates through more than 750 company-owned and dealer outlets, mostly under The Source By Circuit City banner. Its flagship chain, The Source, sells such items as digital audio equipment, cameras, cell phones, computers, and electronic games. Formed in 1986 as a holding company for the international retail operations of Tandy (now RadioShack), InterTAN was later spun off and sold its UK and Australian businesses. The company was acquired by Circuit City in 2004, but the chain was put up for sale after the retail giant filed for bankruptcy in late 2008. Canada's BCE has agreed to acquire The Source.
