I remember the Fry's Electronics original location in the heyday of the home-built PC days. IIRC they had electronic components, shareware, PC components, and odds-ends before branching out into appliances, convenience store, pr0n, and other items.
Also, I remember the Fry's (not electronics) general store at Kooser and Meridian in San Jose.
- jedberg 6y agoThe Fry's general store was owned by the father of the founders of Fry's electronics. He sold the market to a big grocery conglomerate and then gave the money to his kids, who used it to found the electronics store because they didn't want to run a supermarket. However, they liked the idea of a supermarket since they knew how to run one, so they set up Fry's like a market. The first Fry's electronics actually had groceries and even fresh produce. But they cut back on actual food and just started stocking chips and other "grocery items for men".
- doggodaddo78 6y agoYeap. :) I remember that. I also used to hangout with the Saberkittens because of a coworker's fiancé. The Sabercats occasionally used the Fry's 747ER.
