We never had Fry’s in my area, but I’d heard a ton about it in online communities growing up. I was spending a week last spring in San Francisco and decided to go check one out. The store was huge, but mostly empty. A lot of the merchandise they did have seemed really beaten up. The aisles seemed kinda dirty, like not horrible, but not great. The employees all seemed like they didn’t want to be there. It was generally a dark experience.
Contrasting that with the Microcenter near my house was stark.
I’ve only been to Fry’s once, and I’m honestly shocked it took them this long to shut down.
- michaelcampbell 6y agoIn the North Atlanta (Georgia, USA), area the local-ish Microcenter has long been the place where the people "in the know" go. Plenty of stock, of good quality, knowledgable employees, ... (At least it was pre-pandemic; haven't been since then) Fry's... not so much. Still, their demise makes me sad if for no other reason than my now 20 year old son and I really enjoyed going there when he was younger, so I have fond memories of it.
