I thing they only have 31 stores, but they were pretty cool. The one in San Marcos was all underwater themed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoberChef Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 "...and that Fry’s had eliminated most full-time roles even before the pandemic hit, in order to save money." Sounds like Best Buy as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one in San Marcos was all underwater themed! That's very cool. I miss the days of visiting EB, funcoland, and babbages. Reading through magazines on upcoming games and playing any demos they had available. Those days are gone. Great memories as a kid/teenager.

The def star Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 That's a bummer but not surprising. Their stores are huge and they haven't been keeping stock on a lot of things lately. Microcenters are actually the right size for an electronic store. The one in Anaheim was all steam punk themed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spawn_of_Apathy Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I’m not surprised. Last one I went into several months ago looked like it had been going out of business for months already. Just without the clearance signs. Almost no inventory on the shelves, no employees walking around. No customers. It damn near looked abandoned.

stepee Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Woah, finally. That’s crazy kinda though did people working at these stores not know? It’s the only place walkable from me where I can just pick up a cord I need or something and just went on Sunday to pick up mic to headphone cable converter and they were doing serious remodeling and even had some new stuff in. It looked like they actually decided to keep trying but guess not lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bataar Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 I remember hearing about Fry's for a long time and being really excited when they finally opened one in Washington. The last few times I went, back in 2019, there were more empty shelves than anything else so I figured at least that store would be closing.

EternallDarkness Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Shame as it means more people out of work. It's a cool store, but the one 'near' me was kind of a pain to get to so I rarely went. Has to have been a couple of years since I went.
