Radioshack franchise in Arizona: what the public record shows

Franchisees of Radioshack in Arizona have taken 6 SBA loans since 1991 (average $161,350)— too few resolved loans in-state to publish a local failure rate (we require a resolved cohort, never extrapolate), so the brand's national rate of 19.4% is the better guide.
