Quote from their website as of today - Feb 24, 2021:
After nearly 36 years in business as the one-stop-shop and online resource for high-tech professionals across nine states and 31 stores, Fry's Electronics, Inc. ("Fry's" or "Company"), has made the difficult decision to shut down its operations and close its business permanently as a result of changes in the retail industry and the challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Company will implement the shut down through an orderly wind down process that it believes will be in the best interests of the Company, its creditors, and other stakeholders.
The Company ceased regular operations and began the wind-down process on February 24, 2021. It is hoped that undertaking the wind-down through this orderly process will reduce costs, avoid additional liabilities, minimize the impact on our customers, vendors, landlords and associates, and maximize the value of the Company's assets for its creditors and other stakeholders.
The Company is in the process of reaching out to its customers with repairs and consignment vendors to help them understand what this will mean for them and the proposed next steps.
If you have questions, please contact us using the following email addresses:
For customers who have equipment currently being repaired, please email [email protected], to arrange for return of your equipment.
For customers with items needing repair under a Performance Service Contract, please call (800) 811-1745.
For consignment vendors needing to pick up their consignment inventory at Fry's locations, please email [email protected].
Please understand if we are a bit slow to respond given the large volume of questions. The Company appreciates your patience and support through this process.
Sincerely,
Fry's Electronics

I used to go there all the time for Blu-rays 10 years ago but then the giant selection shrunk..... and shrunk.... and shrunnnnk. From about 10 aisles to maybe 1 and a half with inflated prices most of the time and you never knew if they would get a new release. I would occasionally pop in for a cable here and there and their PC section just stagnated to the point that they just had old unwanted product.
RIP to the old Fry's but I can't see how anyone with a Fry's locally did not see this coming. The store in Austin was about 1/3 full and I don't even know the last time I saw the cafe open or someone at the door checking receipts.

It's so sad to see this happening, I got so many awesome deals from them. Hardly anyone can beat their prices when it comes to AV stuff.
They screwed up with the black friday sales where you had to go in after you purchased online but they didn't have the items left. Total inept management.
Was it newegg or Frys execs that took illegal bribes and kickbacks?
If you have gift cards , you should have used them up last year.
