Frys Electronics closed

[Rick Modena]

I was only at the Fry's on Saturday nights and it was to watch the races behind the building in like 1999.

I got called out by the Arlington/Tarrant co. crew and to go out there and drag some ass. It was cool, everyone would go to the Sonic on little rd I think and hang afterwards.

Hadn't stepped in the Frys in Plano since Microcenter opened. Robert (Chopped 54) turned me on to MC and I haven't looked back. I'm surprised it lasted as long as they did.

Man in the 2010's or so, you couldn't keep me out of Fry's. I loved going there and looking at / buying hardware.

Sad to see that, but online selling seems to be killing big box stores.

I'm still running my computer from 2012.

Worked at the Garland store for a summer job mostly for the sweet discount when I was fresh out of HS.

They fell so far from what it use to be, it is bizarre that they swapped to a consignment model and kept the doors open for so long. I've read that it had something to do with wanting to hold onto the real estate but IDK.

Microcenter is what Fryes use to be, sales people getting paid commission who are generally helpful. I do miss CompUSA also that was my go to as a kid growing up for PC games.

Fry's went downhill before Trump.

Yeah, and everyone talking about their customer service is right. It either didn't exist, or the employee didn't want to be talking to anyone. Somehow they brought that 1980's "You have to come here haha" attitude well into the next century.

So what's a good computer store in fort worth? Don't say best buy.

Incredible Universe was bad ass. Still have my old Pioneer sound system from them.

Fry's was not very inspiring to shop in

Haha I also still have an old Pioneer Dolby Surround 5 channel with a matching Pioneer 6 disc changer unit as well. I believe I got them in 1993 from I think either Service Merchandise or Circuit City.

Frys has sucked for two decades.

When Micro center opened up in Dallas I knew it would help close the doors on Frys.

I always thought these closed down years ago. I guess I haven't lived down south for a bit and Arlington for like 20 years is why. I was only at the Fry's on Saturday nights and it was to watch the races behind the building in like 1999. haha.

Damn that's old school as fuck!! Same here

Maybe CompUSA will make a comeback

Pretty sure they still owe me $100 for a rebate on a couple of 16MB sticks of ram I bought. Bastards. Remington did it to me on a shotgun too.

I was always bitter that they opened the shitty Arlington store without giving it the attention of other locations. Elsewhere they had cool themes and it had a high end feel. The Arlington store was always just a shitty warehouse.
