Did Frys go out of business?

[Leros]

The one in Austin is always super crowded, I think they'll be fine.

Their website is useless garbage though. I don't even bother trying to use it.

A website is down for a few minutes therefore the company went out of business?

If you've only seen the website, it's not an unreasonable assumption to make.

It's not just you! http://frys.com looks down from here.

Did Frys go out of business?

A friend wanted to go shopping for a TV and I recommended Frys but the website doesn't even resolve.

Clearly they must have gone out of business. I mean, what other logical conclusion could be made from this unusual turn of events.

Just bought a set of surround speakers from them last week...site works for me too. I dont think theyre going anywhere. They match online prices now, and have a huge selection.

Don't worry, Frys ain't gone. They just have anandtech personnel working on their site, should be back up in the next week or so.

So, they're just having some unscheduled "scheduled maintenance" then?

Haven't visited Fry's in a long time, but it loads almost instantly here
Completely new site since I was there last.

Came up immediately and was just there a week or two ago. Ours is generally busy

Miss going to frys, the people in the Ventura California one knew me by name as it was my second home. The one in Las Vegas off flamingo is enormous and awesome.

Edit: The site is up now. Called local store and they said they plan on being around.

i bought stuff at Fry's four days ago. No sign of doom. Went past several recently and all looked open for business.

Just went there last night, so nope.

Have a family member who's a department manager in their Roseville (Sacramento area) store. They're not going out of business.

Sometimes it's a surprise.

Love how each Frys is a different theme.

 

[RossMAN]

Website is only good to check inventory at their B&M locations.

I think I would cry if they went out of business.

I used to be at least a once a month customer. Eventually got sick of every thing being an open box return that was marked down an amazing 5% off retail despite looking like someone backed over it.

lol. Same here.

I don't know how the other locations are doing, but the one near me is always busy. I guess if their margins are too low, then that could mean trouble. It would be a shame to see them go out of business, not many places carry computer parts for when I need something immediately. I take care of all the computers for a small business, and I can't wait a day or two to order something offline.

If it is they must be keeping it very close to their vest. He hasn't even heard rumors of any financial difficulty.

Me too, but it would be tears of joy. The frys near me is terrible. Can't wait until they use that plot of land for something more useful.

Future Shop, Circuit City, Radio Shack, and now Frys. No love for tech?

 

[zinfamous]

I love going to Fry's, but more and more the ones near me are looking like a Roses or KMart a few years before their disappearance--trash everywhere, piles of re-taped boxes of stuff shoved onto random shelves, etc.

Haven't been to Fry's (Downers Grove, IL) since Feb 2011. Went there for a sale. CPU mobo combo. Place looked disorganized and a lot mobo boxes looked opened. Not much of a discount on them too. Micro Center nearby looked a lot better.

Found a better deal with Newegg, no tax & free shipping.
