Re: Frys come to Georgia
They have Gwinnet in the NE vorner, now they are opening up in Alpharetta? What about us over here in Cobb, Paulding, Cherokee, etc in the NW corridor? C'mon. That drive is bad enough from Marietta to Gwinnet, before even considering the h-e-dbl-hockeysticks the traffic tends to get in, especially for the holidays around Gwinnet Place Mall... |

Glad to see Fry's has made it to the southeast finally! I lived in the Bay Area for 5 yrs, and prior to that, 5 yrs in ATL. Now that Fry's has landed, perhaps it's time for me to come back now. 
All those poor mom 'n pop 'puter shoppes in Norcross are gonna get hammered.
Fry's is a family owned company.. Their heritage is the grocery store business.. so their mantra is razor thin, predatory pricing w. high volume.. I'd consider them the "Walmart" of personal computer & electronics retailing. |

Re: New Fry's Alpharetta on Windward Pkwy
I heard that the new Fry's Electronics in Alpharetta is going to be at the corner of Windward Pkwy and Deerfield Pkwy near the new H.H. Gregg. I heard it will open after the new year. They broke grown already. |

Re: Frys come to Georgia
Well I'm from Houston and as big as that town is we only got one Fry's, but it is worth the trip. I remember last year the day after Thanks giving there was a line to get in because it was filled to max capacity per the fire code. |

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.

haha.....i know,i asked the guy at the entrance,taking apps,what the theme would be,and he said they arent going to do one for atl.....and then said maybe just pics of old atl. around inside;we'll i hope its a theme since all those stores i saw on their website had one.....maybe he's not allowed to tell? oh well....... did say it should open between 1 and 2 months
I got the ultimate theme - and it's perfect, for Atlanta that is - The American Civil War - with a few iron cannon on old fashioned iron spoked carriage wheels placed outside, a Confederate Flag, a statue of Robert E Lee and Jefferson Davis, peanuts or goobers being sold with every Fry's purchase (LOL), and every woman employee at Fry's dressed as Scarlet O'hara ! And every male employee ? Well they just have to do their best to sport a Clark Gable mustache! Muhahahahahahahaaaa !:D

I will not visit Fry's for a while. Why? Last time I went (Saturday), I ended up spending money on things I didn't plan on buying. By the time I knew it, I was picking things up and taking them with me. I don't know if that's good or bad. I mean, a 250GB HD for $109 (no rebates).
The place is evil...hehehehe. :D:)

Everyone seemed to be taking advantage of the 25" Sharp TV for 99$
I was amazed, it was like they were giving away g'ment cheeze. People were abandoning the boxes for the TV's in the parking lot. I left some serious coin there. Picked up the Athlon 2800+ and MoBo combo for $99 and a 160 GB HD for $59. The best part is the selection.

I got back from Frys just now. The place is simply amazing. I had to park in the back because it is still loaded with people. It's a good thing I didn't have any money on me.

Unbelievable rebate deals if you get there soon enough...I'm here on business for a few weeks...went in looking for a soundcard, which I got real cheap. Also got a new software called Audio Xtract that was on display with a rebate. I fired it up right away at home and it's amazing. I recorded about 300 MP3s from 5 internet radio streams at once. Has anyone else used this yet...I'm lovin' the free tunes! I heard they are opening a store in Chicago, too, if they haven't already. |

I got there at ~7pm and picked up the FAR ATX case, 430W PS, and GMRS radios. Would have loved to have gotten the fax machine, but those were gone. The rebate forms were all printed by the cash register.
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 went without a shopping cart as long as possible to be able to move around more easily. |
