Like Circuit City and Radio Shack, Fry’s Electronics closed down. We all saw it coming, but: damn.

Damn. I mean, DAMN. Fry's Electronics is closing all stores, nationwide. They built a couple of systems for me, and I spent a fortune there on everything from corn chips to resistors. It's not like we didn't see it coming, but…damn.#FrysElectronics https://t.co/nidyqddmjN

Just heard Fry's Electronics is immediately going out of business tonight, here's some of my favorite themed Fry's locations:

I remember when I saw the first Apple Cinema Display at Campbell Fry's in their PC section.

Oh my god.
And the presentation room where they demoed home theater equipment. pic.twitter.com/wyjePiNWpB
When I was UCSC's Apple Student Rep, I spent a day doing one-on-one, Newton Message Pad demos at the Egyptian-themed Fry's in Campbell. https://t.co/za7gK2dHU8

remember those ma & pa stores in the valley, the ones where you’d get the 56k modem & hard drive without a box, they were always behind the counter. It was cheap & fun. & remember Fry’s was always shitty but more fun then pa’s place, and Newegg was always the steal. The 90s.

I grew up going to the Campbell Fry's Electronics and never once as a kid thought it was strange for an electronics store to be Ancient Egyptian themed. I also figured the whole chain was, until I ended up at the Gears location. End of a bizarre era, RIP (photos from Google maps) https://t.co/08PLWeiRAW pic.twitter.com/UoFs7gdZrE

Sad to see the passing of Fry's. While my wife and I didn't technically go on a date to Fry's, she did ask if we could stop there once on our way to a play. That's when I knew I'd found the right woman. https://t.co/id8MC6ZIXn
