Fry's Arlington

The Arlington Texas store is the same way. My wife and I went to the store on Sunday and found the same problem! Bare shelves! They are not replacing or replenishing the stock. Ask the clerk if they were closing. They replied, we were told that we... — read more

The End of An Era!

“Jean-Louis? You work here?” It’s Spring 1991. A startled Apple employee finds me behind a cash register at the huge Fry’s Electronics store in Sunnyvale. “Well, you know…I just got fired…have to make ends meet.” I’d been working as a cashier... — read more

Fry's at Downers Grove IL is a major shocker.

The store looks like an abandoned asylum. 80% shelves are empty, I asked an employee, if the store is closing, he told me I cannot say much as i dont even get my salary now.

Fry's Dead On Its Feet, get the hot details

Home Office-level idiocy, negligence, and greed across the board. No more transfer of items between stores (fired all the truck drivers). 1 Non-retail location already closed (Product Repair, now even broken items will be sold), rumors for that... — read more

Fry's is Finished.

It's too bad. Even if you don't shop with Fry's, the fact that they exist meant places you did shop at had more competition. Without competition, the retailers can sell for whatever price they want and you either have to pay it or go without. — read more

Fry’s in Roseville. Sad state of affairs.

Went to Fry’s in Roseville CA today. 50% of rows completely empty. Rows with goods were 15% stocked. I asked the employees twice if they were closing and said it was a waste of time to drive there. They said they don’t know the fate of the store... — read more

How long can they continue like this?

Honestly, this is already beyond ridiculous. How long can some of these stores operate with barely anything on their shelves? I can't imagine that they make even close to what they need to cover all the store-related expenses AND cover employee pay... — read more

The Plano, TX shelves are empty.

Frys in Concord

It's dead. Shelves where empty, not an employee in sight. Boxes where left with the items stolen from them, no security at the door. The writing's on the wall, might go back to swipe something myself honestly.

Campbell, CA. Echoing aisles.

I might go there 3-4 times per year, and I've never seen it so empty. Maybe 1/4 of the shelves had anything at all on them, and then it was one or maybe two items of each. I think I saw one other customer there, and maybe three or four... — read more
