Sort of. The brand name was acquired by another company, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tandy_...n#Tandy_stores

Quote:
In 2012, Tandy Corporation Ltd, a UK company, acquired the UK rights to the Tandy brand from RadioShack. It now operates as an on-line retailer of electronic components and kits at tandyonline.co.uk
Rather like when the Woolworths brand was acquired by Shop Direct and run as an online store for a few years.
