Being from the Bay area (the first store is/was here), it's an end of an era. People would go to Fry's and stay most of the day. They had food and rest rooms and whole families would go there

Being in the TV repair business, I did service at the Bay Area stores for years. They were...different. I used to say they are like the hippie of the electronics business. The Good Guys, CompUSA, Circuit City, all larger went away, but Fry's remained. Now it's Best Buy and Video Only (perhaps also not long for existence)

That said, I've not been to one in a couple of years, but still a shame. Family owned until the end
