The old building of the Sunnyvale store (their first) was
a giant chip :)
==
That was their SECOND location in Sunnyvale. The first was two blocks
east, on the other side of Laurence Expr. MUCH smaller, but a larger
selection of useful stuff (like ICs).
I don't think I've been there more than three times since they moved
from there.. It is such a hateful experience I'll
go anywhere else
first.

Er... their second? I always thought that
was their first.. I mean
the one just off of Lawrence Expwy, righthand-side when coming off
the 237, going towards Central Expwy.. its right before where Arques
crosses Lawrence.
Anyway. Even there, they're kinda dorky :)

The Wilsonville, OR Fry's is also an ex-"Incredible Universe", but I
wouldn't call it themed.

Burbank is sort of a B-Science fiction movie theme - complete with a
saucer crashed halfway into the store above the front enterance, and
little green men exiting the ship on the inside. Woodland Hills is
"Alice is Wonderland." Manhattan Beach is Tahitian.

The Houston, TX Fry's made an attempt at an "oil field" theme. Its pretty
bad... Sounds like some of the others would be much more entertaining.
