Never had a Frys locally but it used to be one of my must-stop locations when I would visit San Diego on business. That's where I picked up one of my favorite camera bags and I still have some Hard Drives from there.

 
I've had good luck with B&H Photo in NYC. They have everything for the amateur to the professional.
Their store is on 34th Street in Manhattan

Oh yes, I have spent enough for four years of Ivy League college at B&H! (And Adorama). Frys was a different animal. More of a general electronics big box store. It was a fun place to wander around in.
 
The one I miss is 47th Street Photo in NYC
 
I built several computers with parts from Fry's. They were cheaper than CDW and Egghead with instant gratification. I think one of their downfalls was being really slow to get a website to sell things. Years too slow.
 
B&H was on to web marketing almost as quickly as it all started. Too many good retail outfits didn't see the potential, for sure.

Sears is one of the companies that had everyone in the "palm of their hand" with their catalogs and retail locations for pickup. If only they embraced the internet things might have turned out differently.
 
I think Wal-Mart has the best online-to-retail system right now. You can find what you want on their internet site, and then either complete the transaction online OR go to the store and pay in person at a register for what you ordered. Once payment is received by either means the order ships - either to a home address or to the store for pickup. The only drawback in the system is that some things cannot be picked up at a store, which means you have to coordinate with someone who has a valid delivery address that is willing to receive it for you.

Sears was headed by an idiot at JUST the right time to kill the whole conglomerate.
