Sounds like a smaller version of the first Fry's Electronics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fry%27s_Electronics They did OK.


Just be wary of employees that have a suite named after them at a Vegas hotel.


Is that a general reference or something specific to frys?

Could you elaborate more?


From the linked wiki:

"In 2008, Fry's vice president of merchandising and operations, Ausuf Umar Siddiqui, was charged by federal prosecutors in an illegal kick back scheme involving Fry's vendors. The alleged scheme was designed to defraud the company in order to cover Siddiqui's gambling expenses"


IIRC He embezzled something like $65 million in kickbacks from suppliers.
