kitekrazy Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 https://www.frys.com/ I didn't realize the family started Fry's Food. There was a Frys as far as Downer's Grove, IL not far from Tiger Direct's HQ. Tiger Direct closed their 2 retail stores some time ago. Their customer service was terrible.

Shane_B. Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Aldi's story is really weird. I read one time that the one can sell cigarettes and the other can't. Don't remember which one and I don't feel like fact checking myself. But I read it somewhere. I like Aldi's although the one here is filthy. The ones up in Iowa were much nicer. Everything is much nicer up in Iowa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bapu Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 I used to frequent Fry's down here. Then I got lazy and just ordered my stuff from Newegg. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigb Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Many a lunch-hour was spent at the Mother Ship! I even worked with some nerds who said that, when they died, they wanted to end up in a Fry's store... LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InstrEd Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 The Fry's in Downers Grove, IL hasn't been that great for several years now. Even before the pandemic the selection wasn't like it use to be. My wife's cousin was in town two years ago and had to stop at Fry's. When we saw him for dinner he was like what a wasted trip. I tried to tell him he would be better going to Microcenter a few miles away. I brought a couple of Computer cases from Fry's and they had a great selection to choose from.

That trend is very old still. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
