I just recently visited the Downers Grove, IL store 12/2/2019, which I had not been there in over a year. The parking lot empty(about a dozen cars). I assumed the store hours changed. Nope, so I continued to walk in to a baron store. I wanted a new... — read more
Vegas!
Was in Fry's Las Vegas today. No visible motherboards, video cards, or hard drives. Where many things like electronics should have been they filled the space with boxes of chairs. The Wall of CPU and RAM prices had more blank or empty spaces than... — read more
The Renton store
I think it's no longer just 'how can they be open while selling no merchandise?' Few random interesting discussion threads on reddit about how they could be doing some finance shenanigans like extending themselves credit from themselves to pay... — read more
Fry's Austin to Close Soon
I was recently at the Austin store and was nearly bare of any type of inventory–even the TV I came in for in a recent ad was long gone. An employee tried to argue tariffs were to blame, but considering how China devalued their currency making the... — read more

Let's see...Sales reps are clueless and being jerked around by management. No more excuses like Trump's tariffs are k–ling business. (If that is true, explain Microcenter, Best Buy, Target, and Walmart.) There are no fulltime employees now except for... — read more

Black Friday!
Black Friday 2017 was bomb. Slept outside with hundreds of others, by 5Am the line was around the building. Waited in line for 6 hours two times throughout the day. Man that was a fun day.
To all of the posters worrying about the empty shelves at all Fry's Electronics stores
Chill out and take it easy. It is nothing new for them at all: They have done this tactic before.

Fry's stores may become Amazon Stores
My guess is that Amazon is going to take over all the Fry's locations. They put most Book Stores out of business and now open Amazon Book Stores. They put most Electronics Stores out of business and will now open Amazon Electronics Stores.
Denial Of Reality
I have been been thru a couple company closings in my time. The owners are always the main problem, in denial until they are shut down. Usually there are agreements to pay vendors as product is sold if it is on consignment. There are often legal... — read more

What Fry's needs to do
Back in the 90s and early 2000s, Fry's was the place to buy stuff. It was overwhelming with options, but it was a nerd's paradise. In my opinion, their largest mistake they could have possibly have made was to match online pricing. While there is a... — read more
Renton
Stopped in at the Renton, WA Fry's on Thursday (10/10/2019), and it was a barren wasteland compared to its former glory. I wanted to get a gaming keyboard, and there was one weird brand to choose from. I asked the employee if Fry's was going out of... — read more
