PROFILE |
 |
Service may be heavy-handed, but where else can you buy appliances, build a computer, grab some Ho-Ho's or Maalox, and find the latest "Playboy" or "Byte"? The 18-store Fry's Electronics chain offers all that plus low prices, extensive inventory (including Crock-Pots, vacuums, stereos, TVs, and computer software and hardware), and whimsically themed displays (such as Wild West or UFO motifs). The technogeek's superstore -- whose notoriously bad service is chronicled on unaffiliated Web pages -- began in 1985 as the brainchild of CEO John Fry (with brothers Randy and David) and VP Kathryn Kolder. The Fry brothers, who got their start at Fry's Food Stores, still own the company.
