By all accounts it looks like the store is going out of business. There were far more empty shelves and spaces then there were ones with merchandise. I saw just 6 staff. There was less than 20 cars in the parking lot. DON'T waste your time going there like I did! Look through the 26 photos I posted to see just how few products they have available.
The store seems to be in a constant state of reorganization. Every time i visit, the things are being moved around and are hard to find. Also most of the shelves are usually empty whenever I visit this or any of their other locations in the DFW area Update Visited Frys again after 6+ months and this place seems to have gotten worse. I needed a soldering iron and none was to be found in the store. Just rows and rows of empty shelves. In fact the camera section did not have any actual cameras on display. Just pictures of cameras and some basic specs on each. I’m amazed how this store is still operating. On the other hand they did seem of have a wide selection of mattresses and “As seen on TV” trinkets. If you are going here for electronics or anything related to electronics save yourself the trip
Fry's use to be the place you would go to get anything electronic. They had it all, and at a killer price. Going there today made me sad. Not only did they not have what I was looking for to build a budget gaming PC. All they did have was overpriced Cases, Power supplies and Water coolers. When I asked the lonely worker where all the parts were he stated that they had gotten some GPUs a few weeks ago but they have not gotten CPU, Motherboards and RAM in many months. The TV selection was all unknown brands that were not on display. It all looked like the ordering manager use to work at Wish.com and then jacked up the price. Everything was un-known brands that some Chinese company thought would sound good-enough to Americans for them to buy. I would not trust these electronics that plugs in to the wall in fear of it causing a fire. Maybe Collin County and the CDC can use some of the available space as a COVID temporary hospital. Lord knows there is not much risk of the public wandering in to this place as there is no other reason for them to come here any more. Or maybe Micro Center will move to this location so that they can have more room and checkout lines. Lord knows their business model did not need to "change" like Management at Fry's did. If you are a part time worker at Fry's good luck and when I went down to Micro Center to get what I was looking for, I did see that they were hiring.
The store has been empty for a while... even before COVID hit so that's not an excuse... not really sure what the point of keeping the doors open and paying for rent and utilities when you literally having nothing to sell other than "As Seen On TV" junk. It's such a squandered opportunity because Micro Center down the highway is packed... so it's not like theres not a market for computer stuff. I heard there is some kind of new purchasing model and that's why all their stores are empty... but they are going on 7 or 8 months like this... that can't be sustainable for much longer.
Everytime I go there it is a beating. I'm exhausted from finding the advertised item then wait in line to only deal with a clerk who says the promo code isn't working, ask me to go back take a pic of it then I waited back in line to wait for another clerk who then wanted to check his phone to see if the promo code had a limit. (Purchased 3 18pk kelberg k-cups) As he fiddles with his phone for 5 mins then calls a manager over which took another 10 mins for him to come to the registers to price adjust the items as advertised. I mean couldn't we just skip the unnecessary. It's your company's ad!
