Fry's Electronics Suddenly Going Out Of Business, Closing All AZ Locations

Another business is meeting a bitter end in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic.

Fry's Electronics is closing all 31 locations across the United States, including both Arizona locations, reported AZ Family.

Fry's has been a local and online resource for tech professionals for nearly 36 years. According to the store's website, the difficult decision is "a result of changes in the retail industry and challenges posted by the COVID-19 pandemic."

The website says that the process is already in the process of closing. It reads, "The Company ceased regular operations and began the wind-down process on February 24, 2021."

Here is the information given by the website for those who have equipment in for repairs and consignment vendors:

• Those with equipment being repaired, email customerservice@frys.com.
• Those with equipment that needs repair until a Performance Service Contract should call 1-800-811-1745.
• Those that need to pick up consignment inventory, email omnichannel@frys.com.

The websites states, "Please understand if we are a bit slow to respond given the large volume of questions."

There is currently no official closing date for the company.
