As far as I know, Fry's is now and has always been owned by the Fry brothers who started the chain.
I'm not going to go too far to defend them because I've had my share of frustration with the store, but if you just take Fry's for what it is -- a big-box, high-volume, low-information seller, using more of a supermarket paradigm than a traditional consumer electronics store -- you'll be less likely to be disappointed.
Do your research first, and consider it fortunate that they have floor models of anything, at all.
