They must be in dire straits, they solid their 747SP a few years back (it went to NASA) |

Had a free day in SoCal this week and took in the City of Industry store. I have always loved the decor there - emulating a turn of the twentieth century industrial plant. But the whole experience reminded me of Sears just before they announced their final bankruptcy and closure. Lots of empty shelves, and many of the shelves that weren't empty were covered with filler. At Sears the filler was filters for their shop vacuums. Literally hundreds of filters on shelves all over. At this Fry's it was travelers adapter kits, mains plugs to fit most styles. Everywhere. There was one Rigol 1054Z, if someone wants to pay full list plus CA and City of Industry sales taxes. Other similar "bargains". The aisles and parking lots were empty and two cashiers handled all the business without being busy. I would guess that there is less than a year left. Maybe much less. |

Another thing is that none of the items are on sale. I spoke to one of the people there and she says "... no, we are still getting stocks daily." Right. Why are the shelves empty then? |

--- Quote from: metrologist on October 31, 2019, 02:40:45 pm ---I watched in amazement as they let the online revolution roll right over them, and then how they totally mismanaged the outpost.com website for their online retail. I couldn't believe what was going on. Finally they migrated their online retail to the frys domain and retired outpost, but they already missed the market. --- End quote --- I didn't know Outpost was run by Fry's. They had a few memorable ads. |

Yea, I remember when the online site switched from outpost.com. I was always confused when I'd try to use it... For about 2 years. |
