Fry's Electronics is a privately held retail company founded in 1985 in Sunnyvale, California, by the Fry brothers and Kathy Kolder, who remained actively involved in daily operations. It began as a Silicon Valley electronics retailer aimed at hi-tech professionals, offering a one-stop shopping environment for the latest personal computer technology. The business operates 34 large-format stores across California, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington, with locations ranging from 50,000 to over 180,000 square feet, and it also runs an online storefront at Frys.com. Its customer base includes hi-tech professionals and electronics consumers seeking a broad catalog of items. Recent news notes that Fry's has faced closures and a shrinking footprint, while the brand is identified as a competitor to larger electronics retailers such as Best Buy.
