Walmart is niche?? I feel like I must be misinterpreting. ๐Ÿ˜…

I could've sworn I said BestBuy...which I would consider "niche" in that, I can't think of a single other retailer in my area that competes directly as an electronics store.

There's maybe an appliance shop nearby still? But I'm hundreds of miles away from even a Fry's. No more CircuitCity or CompUSA or even Sears.

If I didn't have a wholesale club nearby or a MicroCenter ~90 mins away, I wouldn't have a clue where to buy a TV (for example), in person, besides WalMart, Target, or BestBuy.

Online, the first that comes to mind is those, and Amazon. Then if I start to think deep I'll think maybe Newegg?

Fry's as in fry's electronics? Didn't they go bankrupt because one of the owners was embezzling?

they were already crumbling in 2019 and covid killed them, that's the official story, anyway
