Being a independently owned company isn't going to get you anywhere...look at Google for Example their stock is worth $700+ imagine if they had Fry's in every state and they could make so much money and maybe they could finally afford to clean the stores and make them more customer friendly like Best Buy.
if you do that Frys will fail. Greed will kill frys. They will just sell what sells and get rid of the stuff that doesnt (employees included). Just like bb and wm.
