Fry's Electronics closing for good
another one bites the dust. Seen it coming, was already dying, covid was the knockout punch. Place seemed almost magical to go to at one point 10-15 years ago.

they had that warehouse feel, like the costco of electronics, but they only had stores on the west coast, texas, few other states. Circuit city was much bigger chain throughout the country.Originally Posted by MattyMiscer

The end of an era. Where else can one go to buy a new graphics card and some Jolt cola while standing around guys who don't understand that you can both shower with soap AND wear deodorant?

Dad use to go there n would game it up, that’s where I bought Diablo 2 and had someone put together a computer for me 2 different times too. Too bad. Place was a haven for electronics

There’s a Fry’s here in Vegas that has been a ghost town for years and I was curious who they still stayed open after all this time
It was like walking into the electronic store from the 40 year old virgin lmaoNo man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.

I used to deliver pizzas to the workers at the store in Manhattan Beach a long time ago.
There was never any parking, it always took a half hour to find the guy who ordered, super ghetto employees, they'd never tip and always say I forgot to bring something.

Good riddance.Look, you're my best friend, so don't take this the wrong way but, in 20 years if you're still here postin' in hhhnnnggg threads, beggin' for mod reps, and braggin' about whales you harpooned from POF, I'll f'in kill ya. That's not a threat, that's a fact, I'll f'in kill ya. You got somethin' none of us have, and you don't owe it to yourself man, you owe it to me. Cuz tomorrow I'm gonna wake up and I'll be red, and I'll still be a socially awkward/FA. And that's all right.

Going the way of cicuit city, the online behemoths are destroying retail one store at a time.
Everyone cheers the online convenience and prices, just wait until theyre the only option in town...

Anyone who has been in a Fry's in the last 2 years could have seen this coming.
Horrible customer service
Poor selection
Prices on a lot of things were not competitive.
Truthfully surprised they made it as long as they did.________

This sucks. Used to go to the one in Arlington, Texas whenever I didn't want to wait on newegg. Plus it's better to buy pc parts at a walk in store, because you reduce the chances of damages and you can just drive back in minutes to exchange it if it is DOA. Every-time i order from Newegg, something is damaged or flat out doesn't work as intended.
