Re: Frys come to Georgia
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. |
