I'm too young to have experienced RadioShack and Blockbuster Video. Also Toys R Us still exists in my country (Still exists in Canada.) To make a close equivalent I'd say maybe Sears or Target, both whom no longer have a presence in Canada.

I would bring back Sears. Target was very "meh" while it existed in Canada. It was just more expensive than Walmart for everything.

It's very "meh" in the U.S., too. I do not understand the infatuation.

It's basically a Walmart for people that think they are too fancy for Walmart.
