Al_Borges Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 (edited) Frye's is shutting down all it's stores. https://www.kron4.com/news/national/frys-electronics-permanently-closes-nationwide/ Sad news but not surprising. I visited the frye's in Indy back in the fall and it looked half shutdown already. We had great fun visiting frye's after one of the legendary homeserver show meetups Edited February 24, 2021 by Al_Borges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schoondoggy Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I think that Frys was trying to be too many things to too many consumers, computers and components, home audio and video, appliances, mobile,,,,,, MicroCenter is fairly focused on computer parts and systems, DIY/maker, accessories. Their staff is quite helpful for the average consumer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Borges Posted February 26, 2021 Author Share Posted February 26, 2021 the almost complete transition to digital media really decimated their business model in doing some 'covid housecleaning' last year, I noted the drastic reduction in the amount of physical media my kids have in going from the nintendo gamecube (100% physical) nintendo wii (50% physical media) and the latest switch only 1 physical pc of media purchased ditto for software i've only purchased 1 pc of software on disk in the lasr several years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
