Another One Bites the Dust: Fry’s Electronics

Fry’s Electronics announced this week that it’s giving up the ghost, adding to a growing list of retailers who’ve called it quits during the pandemic. The San Jose, California-based chain got its start as a one-stop electronics shop for techie professionals in Silicon Valley. Fry’s demise also adds to the list of brick-and-mortar electronics retailers who have gone away in recent years, including much larger operations such as Circuit City, HH Gregg, and the late, great Radio Shack.
