| Fry's website in its final days |
It's sad to see another electronic retailer go out of business after decades of activity. I remember my first time going to one of their stores in San Jose with my family, and it felt like paradise. It had a lot of stuff a tech geek would want such as: computer parts, TVs, home theater equipment, video games, and other electronic needs. What they also had was movies, TV products, toys, magazines, and even porn!
There were two locations that I know were in San Jose, one had an Aztec theme, while the other had an old west theme. Both stores sold the same products, but the Aztec themed Fry's felt larger to me. I also remember one of the locations having a cafe where they sold some hot food and snacks, but I never had the chance to try them.
Going there years later, and it felt like a ghost town with nearly empty shelves of unsold products. It just didn't feel right even after going there several years ago, it's like they couldn't keep up with competing retailers and want to call it quits.
Fry's may have been the "Electronic Paradise" for tech geeks and people who can't find what they're looking for since they first opened their first stores, but their legacy will live on in our hearts!
