Hedge fund Standard General has unveiled the list of RadioShack stores it plans to keep open if it is the winning bidder at a bankruptcy auction.

Is your RadioShack one of the keepers?

The hedge fund is targeting 1,723 storeseither as standalone outlets or co-branded with Sprint—for survival, less than half of the 4,000 or so stores the chain had at the time of its bankruptcy filing. (Check out thisinteractive map from WSJof the stores getting shut down.)

Exactly how many stores Standard General proposed to take over has been up in the air since RadioShacks bankruptcy filing. The hedge fund is also bidding $20 million for RadioShacks name.

Liquidators have already begun sales at the some 2000 stores targeted for closing.

Even the stores on the list arent guaranteed to make it out of chapter 11: RadioShacks auction is a come-one, come-all affair, and if the liquidators beat Standard Generals starting offer, the chain could disappear altogether.
