Fry's Electronics was an American big box store chain. It was headquartered in Silicon Valley. Fry's retailed software, consumer electronics, household appliances, cosmetics, tools, toys, etc.

In 2021, it went bankrupt and closed all its stores due to COVID-19 and changes in the retail industry.

Fry's began with only one location in Sunnyvale, California.

At its peak shortly before bankruptcy in 2019, it had 34 locations in total.[1]
