Thread regarding Fry's Electronics layoffs

Wilsonville

The Wilsonville, Oregon store hasn't had stock for over 6 months. Even longer for desktops and laptops. Last month I visited and there were whole aisles empty. ENTIRE AISLES. This is no "remodel" or "change in inventory system". They're on their last legs.

I heard a rumor that the owners had sunk their money recently into building a resort in the Bahamas, and it was wiped out by the hurricane. The only supplier that had been extending credit to Frys was Samsung, but I think even they are no longer willing to let the debt slide because even Samsung's are being restocked.

Sad.

I can confirm this. Today, all the “bargain bins” were gone. The big Bose display is gone. In the PC Parts department, there are no motherboards. Computer cases are on display, but there is nothing to buy. The only printers are Lexmark laser printers in boxes and a few Canon fax machines... nothing on display. The “As Seen on TV” section is gone, filled in with cases of bottled water and Fry’s shopping bags. The TV section no longer has LG TVs on sale, only Sony and Samsung and a handful of off-brand models. The most telling thing: out of almost 30 checkout stations, only one was open, and there is no longer a door guard checking packages on the way out. It’s sad to see what was once a vibrant store reduced to this.
