Maybe we will get a theme about the fame of Georgia. Just imagine a 40FT Jimmy Carter statue holding a 10FT peanut as you walk in the door.


Definently no. Stick to some cool historical things not georgia history lol.

This is the same thing that a movie theatre in Florida and couple locations outside of Florida. Themed Movie Theatres called Muvico.

No theatres here can beat theirs. Probably one of the things I miss since I moved from Florida.

Yes, the place is huge. But as I drove out tonight, I went by the old theater -- next door. The Fry's building is new, and is at least twice (possibly 4x) as large as the theater (was it an 8-plex? it's been so long, I don't recall).

Their ad in Thursday's Atlanta paper was the entire section B -- 8 pages, not just an insert. They spent a lot of $$$ on the building, so it's no wonder they haven't opened stores in more cities.

The registers use barcode scanners. I read on an anti-Fry's website that they didn't (referring to a California store, I think). Is that still the case there? They didn't ask to see my ID to pay with a credit card, either (as was also reported on that site).

All in all, it was a very pleasant shopping experience, except for the crowds.

I mentioned the web price on the unit, the sales guy checked with his manager, and I purchased the player for $99. They did try to push the extended warranty, but not to the point of being obnoxious.

Like someone else said, this place is HUGE! It's like you laid a Best Buy next to a Circuit City, then put a micro center and a Comp USA in front of it. I have never seen a selection of electronic equipment under one roof like this place. I plan on going back after the crowds subside and just roam. They also have a cafe in the middle of the store, so your wife can sit and read with a latte while you drool.

After he made me setup an account with my phone number he then went on to make a quote for items that I should have been able to just take up to a register.

Once we got to the register he wanted to get my pricematch done on a DVD we were informed that a DVD couldn't be on a quote and a quote can't be edited so we would have to start all over. I finally told them I would come back after they get the processes down.

Are you sure that's not the old General Cinemas building (behind Sears)? That picture sure looks like it.

I'm glad they've located there and not Mall of Georgia; that will be much more convenient to most of Atlanta than MOG -- I certainly wouldn't trek up to MOG very often for small electronic components.

I'll agree it is growing. Gwinnett as a whole is, but what's moving in that particular area isn't what's moving to North Fulton/Forsyth, or Mall of Georgia. Gwinnet Place still has a lot of traffic, but the area is changing and becoming more and more like Jimmy Cater Blvd. Gwinnett Place has already started to scale down to less affluent buyers. There are also business signs in Spanish/Korean around the mall now, and from what I understand the mall has a heavy influence of the Latino community. A while back a police officer friend instructed me not to move around the mall because of the area becoming more dangerous.
