Fry’s Electronics is closing

Fry’s Electronics, one of the last big family owned electronics store chains in the United States is permanently closing all its stores after nearly 36 years in business.

Fry’s Electronics, Inc. (“Fry’s” or “Company”), has made the difficult decision to shut down its operations and close its business permanently as a result of changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic,” reads a statement from Fry’s.

Fry’s Electronics store and online business already was hurt by the online retailers like Amazon, Newegg and more. Initially, the company started a campaign to price-match any item you could find online.
