The store also sold T-shirts, technical books, potato chips, and magazines, including Playboy. The store was one of the few retail outlets in the country that sold off-the-shelf microprocessors, such as the Intel 80286. The original Sunnyvale store (located near the intersection of Oakmead Parkway and Lakeside Drive ) stocked numerous high-tech supplies such as integrated circuits, test and measurement equipment, and computer components, as well as software and various other types of consumer electronics. John's idea was to use the model of grocery retailing, with which the brothers were familiar, to sell computer and electronics supplies. Today, Fry's Food and Drug stores are owned and operated by Kroger, and are not affiliated with Fry's Electronics, although they have similar logos. Instead, on May 17, 1985, they joined together with a fourth partner, John's former girlfriend Kathryn Kolder, to open the first Fry's Electronics store at a 20,000 sq ft (1,900 m 2) site in Sunnyvale, California. Randolph (who goes by the nickname "Randy"), and David, none of whom had much interest in grocery-store retailing. He gave a portion of the proceeds, around $1 million, to each of his sons, John (who had worked as the IT manager for the supermarket chain), W. In 1972, Charles Fry sold the Fry's Supermarkets chain based in California for US$14 million to Dillons.
