I used to shop at this Fry's for supplies when I was an ECE major at Cal Poly Pomona. Sad to see it go.

(I'm sad to see local electronics supply stores in general disappear.)

If you're near Cincinnati be sure to visit Jungle Jim's, which is like Fry's for food, only way bigger.

What a nostalgia trip. And I am not even American and never been in a Fry's :)

Anyone remember the one in Sunnyvale in the early 90s. It had a circuit board floor?

I wonder what they did with the Fry’s 747.

United purchased it for $1 in 1986

later asking price was $8.0 million in 2004

And Mr William Fry purchased it for $10 in 2005

trail gets murky though around 2009?

They had a 727-200Adv at one point too. I assume it's been turned into Coke cans by now.
