Fry's is dead, as their HQ on Brokaw Road is being converted to an office complex. They missed the dot com gravy train; had they gone to IPO around 1999, they would have made a killing. However, Fry's brothers and their management are weird.
- jiveturkey 6y agooh is it? last i knew there were 3 bids over the last year or os, all unable to get through re-zoning. The last news I heard was april 2020 and it is still stuck. do you know something very recent, or are you going on vaporware press releases.
- raincom 6y agoNothing new, just that April 2020 news. Fry's done for now thanks to Covid. It was slowly dying before that. Here are some facts: (a) most of the shelves are empty; (b) shelves between two shelves are removed, to make it appear business as usual; (c) vendors were not getting paid by Frys; (d) therefore, any decent vendor doesn't want to send them items on credit; (e) so, Fry's is left with the junk we see on TVs. In some aspects, I miss Fry's. Fry's used to hire all kinds of people, gave jobs to new immigrants without English skills. Now we such people driving Uber, Lyft.
