| It is an electronics store. Each of the stores has a different theme. See: »www.frys.com/
I wonder what the theme for the store in Atlanta will be.
I will also be curious to see how well it does. We are saturated with electronic stores in the Atlanta area. The Gwinnett Mall area already has a bunch of them. |

Oh no way! I never thought we'd get a Frys in the south. I can't wait to see what kind of theme they do.  |

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. |

Low-key is typical for Fry's.

Damn! All the good places are either on the northeast or northwest side of Atlanta. Time to move from this hell hole.

I wonder where in Alpharetta...that's a lot closer for me than Duluth. (I live in Sandy Springs) I haven't noticed any new large buildings around North Point etc. lately...

Hmmm....
I will make a trip just to see what all the fuss is about.:) It would be interesting to see the "Gone With the Wind" Frys. I am atleast 30 minutes south of Atlanta, not with traffic mind you. So, anytime we want to go to something besides Wallyworld, its an all day adventure.
