Fry's Electronics Suddenly Goes Out of Business and Closes All Stores ✖ 2020 was a rough year for retailers, and 2021 hasn't been easy either. The coronavirus pandemic continues to have a significant impact on retailers across the country, and last night we learned that Fry's Electronics, a longtime electronics staple, is shutting down all 31 of its stores and ceasing operation. The news came in the middle of the night last night from a store employee (via Bill Reynolds), who revealed that all of Fry's locations were closing as of that night. A statement was expected early this morning, and now Fry's has updated their website with the following message, confirming that they are closing all of their locations permanently. You can read their full statement below.
