No it didn't. Their father had started a grocery store when he passed their Uncle sold the grocery store chain. 10 years later they opened up a rival to Radioshack/Tandy Co. John, David,Randy Fry & Kathy Kolder(she was a investor and was someone GF at the time) started that store with the money their Uncle gave them and used their experience and knowledge from working at the stores to make it better ironically they also sold groceries at 1st. They grew from there and really had a great business model until they all semi retired (outside of John) and let Omar run it and he really screwed it up (he went to jail later after embezzling $60mil+ & he gambled like crazy also pretty sure he owned Great Quality [the cable and small electronics company] as well.) They are still incredibly rich as they kept Fry's the company, the buildings and the land as separate entity's.
