Fry's Electronics was an American big-box store chain. It was headquartered in San Jose, California, in Silicon Valley. Fry's retailed software, consumer electronics, household appliances, cosmetics, tools, toys, accessories, magazines, technical books, snack foods, electronic components, and computer hardware. Fry's had in-store computer repair and custom computer building services.
Fry's began with one store in Sunnyvale, California, and expanded to 34 stores in nine states at its peak in 2019.[1][2]
On February 24, 2021, Fry's filed for bankruptcy, announcing the immediate and permanent closure of all of its stores. A statement posted on its website cited "changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic".[3][4][5]
