-------- Original message --------From: Fred Cisin Fry's says that they are
doing fine.BUT, that they are moving to a "consignment" model - they now plan
to pay their suppliers only AFTER the merchandise sells.Or at least that is
what they are telling their creditors.They could revitalize the stores, if they
would add Jolt Cola, Canfield's Diet Chocolate Fudge soda, potato chips,
cookies, toothpaste, rosin-core lead solder, and electronic components. Maybe
even collaborate with Fat-Brain to open a computer literacy bookstore.--No.
They are
closing:http://www.tonetoatl.com/2019/12/Frys-Electronics-Closed-Duluth-Gwinnett-Place.htmlI
really can't see any manufacturers lining up behind the Fry's BS. They just
don't have the foot traffic for it. Now as Fred says if they went back to
filling a niche that is very empty (i.e. an electronics part retailer with
stock of hard to get goods on hand) that may work. I hate having to order 50
capacitors from China everytime I need one....
