No "E"...... it's the missing man formation, no Electronics. Pretty much the last store of its kind.

I got my X52 stick from Frys about 14 years ago. Good stick and lasted me 10 years.

Certainly was a cool store. It seems with so much "technology" today, they could have constructed a way to make their store more fun to go to. Interactive structures for customers to play with could have helped bring customers to the store. I feel like these places are so old school.

I hated to hear of their closure. I blame the Fry's second generation management.
In the late 90's they started hiring sales people over tech people. Prior to that, the staff knew their products, and talked customer's needs, not mfg's puff.
Having moved to Cupertino shortly after their first store opening, it was my favorite source for parts and advice. Most will never know how much they contributed to personal computing in silicon valley, and hence, the world. Many IT professional got their start working at Fry's in the 80's and early 90's in Sunnyvale, Santa Clara county, CA.

TC Computers took much more of my money than Frys ever did
