I've been going to the Wilsonville Oregon store since it was the Incredible Universe. I've spent plenty of money at Fry's over the years, and since retired several years ago, I was in the store around twice per week. From what I can glean... — read more 

Anaheim

Went by Anaheim a few days ago. I could count the cars in the parking lot on both hands. It wasn't as empty as Fountain Valley, but there is a feeling of doom in the air. I left and went over to the MicroCenter in Tustin to get the items I needed. It... — read more

Fry’s , what an unfortunate demise.

Unfortunately online retailers, not paying their vendors, a lack of innovation and incompetence in management was the straw that broke the camels back. Fry’s will be missed.

The writing is on the wall . . . . .

As a vendor to Fry's Electronics, I can state that they do not pay their invoices on items sold to them. They are also switching all vendors to consignment. Fry's is definitely struggling to hold on. They will not survive !!

Fry's Facebook

Lol at their response to people on Facebook. They claim they will be receiving stock in the next 60 days. So until then, what? I don't think they can afford to keep the doors open selling 5 dollar perfumes. Pathetic.
