Sad indeed, Frys is going away. They had terrible management, just like blockbuster and Sears. Frys had a difficult time keeping up with technology and keeping the shelves full. The stores were way too big! Some parts of the stores look terrible outdated
When I was 14 I built my first computer. I bought all my parts from frys. I spent hours in that store. Its also where I experienced VR for the first time. Cool store, hate to see it go.
Great the only place you can go and get pc parts, game stop should just add a build your PC section where you can go and buy all pc parts? Maybe that could keep game stop alive
I bought several of the parts for my first PC I built with my dad when I was like 9 at Fry’s. We would always go there and just look at stuff. This hurts man.
Was a fry’s fan boy growing up. Then I worked there. Met some great people but most of the Management were not the best. Met some of the big wigs too when they did their tours of stores. Not great people either. Doesnt surprise me about what happened to this company. Especially what happened behind closed doors which was never a secret. Them closing down was not a surprise. It was bound to happen. I’m just surprised it didn’t happen sooner.
Going to Fry’s was like going to an event. The parking lot was always packed. Sometimes there was a security guard directing traffic. At the store in Fountain Valley (Orange County, Ca) you’d often have to park in an overflow parking lot. The parking lot in Anaheim was so big you felt like you were parking at football stadium parking lot. Some of the stores had popcorn, which customers ate while shopping. But most of all, Fry’s was a one-stop store. They had computer stuff, television stuff, stereo stuff, phone stuff, camera stuff, home security stuff, batteries, magazines, candy, soda pop, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t think of right now. My closest store was the Manhattan Beach location.
0:55 "there’s no fun in the future" that’s facts. The bigger a company gets, the less it becomes about providing a service and more towards turning out easy profits
Fry’s was the Techie & Home Owners dream in California & Georgia!!! The last 3-4 they started to slip and went down the tube. Was a wonderful place at its peak! When they quit sell cell phones and Camera was the start of the end! Computers, TVs, HiFi, Games, Game Systems, Parts, Accessories, Tools, Great Magazine rack, decent instore diner, what a loss!!!
I saw this coming, more and more out, nothing new in. Just a matter of time until the final closing. I saw your walls being made now I will watch as you get closed forever.
My office was across the street from the Sunnyvale, California location. We would walk across during lunch and roam around. One in here in Renton, Washington always had a crowd in it. RIP Fry’s Electronics.
I knew it was going out of business last time i went they were still open but holy hell it was mad empty of people and product and i told my girlfriend that i wouldnt be surprised if they just went out of business cause they couldnt compete against Amazon,Best Buy,etc but whats crazy tho is that it didnt take long for such to happen cause i remember i went in 2017 with some friends and it was packed but hey it is what it is
Wow! They are biiiig store. Sad sad news.
This is sad, they were the last really cool electronics store. I think we all knew something was up, their shelves were 50% empty the last 2 years.

I used to work for Frys 2004. I only shopped at Microcenter.

They were like a Walmart, but all electronics. It was so fun walking around in there back in 2000
In high school me and my friends would go to frys and sit in the massage chairs during our lunch period
😭😭
rip, local parts for the same price online is great

Next tai lopez takes frys online lol
Maybe he just went back to 1999
From the Chicago area. Fry’s used to be the place to be for everything electronics. Microcenter is the new player in the game, rip.
I live in the Silicon Valley and live like a mile away from a frys store but it seemed like they always had more stock than other frys
I’m in Ga never went to the one I must go now before it’s gone
When you let boomers run business, you end up going out of business.

Cool video tech talk lol yes
Like always, Amazon will take over their share of the market 👍
Used to go to Fry’s all the time to get electronics stuff. They always had stuff on sale you didn’t intend to get.
Lots of memories.

I remember frys ads on the back of the sports page in the newspaper.

Built my first PC from a fry’s bundle. AMD Athlon XP 2000+, ECS motherboard, and a ATI Radeon 8500LE.

CES 2015? Was this the video? This was in Best Buy and the Apple Store though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9hx5T9q9ZI&t=0s
Brick & mortar stores coming to an end.
Fry’s is where I got my Sex Education; In the Magazine Aisle. The only electronics store that also sold porno magazines and DVDs.

The only fries fat Americans didn’t consume during this pandemic 😂
Creating morons that will just buy assembled crap instead thinking for themselves.
West coast? There was on in GA
Would you like Fry’s with that?
I saw an office depot with an empty parking lot and got the same vibes, rip.
R.I.P frys electronics.
Press F to pay respect to Frys
fry’s was the bass pro shops of electronics stores
