I learned from the Wikipedia article that the Fry family sold the stores very early on and the sons went into electronics. I had heard a different story- where the boys were putting electronics displays in the grocery stores and it took off from there. Guess all legends can't be true.

Fry's food stores are run by Kroger's nowadays, although the two Fry's companies still share a similar logo.
