Hell yes!!

I don't think it will happen. Fry's is heavily concentrated in the west coast. I don't think the Frys brothers will want to expand to the east coast because there would be just more people to manage. Also, the weather conditions on the west coast is much better than the east.

Na...they'll get there, but they don't open a store until they know they'll turn a huge profit with it. They are just now opening one in the East Bay area in California.

Rule number one...the Fry's must be near the freeway. Every Fry's I know of is right off the freeway and is highly visible from the freeway. This makes finding one, or noticing one, very easy.

Rule number two...they also need room for ample parking since even during holidays you can still find a far off space at Fry's.

Rule number three...the Fry's must be located in a heavily populated/travelled area. Now you need a huge lot right off the freeway in a heavily populated area. Finding a lot like that isn't easy or cheap.

Rule number four...the Fry's must be in a fairly affluent area, but not so affluent that they wouldn't stoop to Fry's. The upper middle class is their target. Everywhere they're open in California is such an area. They aren't in Beverly Hills or Blackhawk, neither are they in Fresno or Stockton.

The bottom line is that you need to intimatly know the area to figure out where a Fry's would fit. Every Fry's I know of is always packed. There's always 12 or more cashiers helping a steady stream of customers in a line 30 long. The key to that kind of success is finding the perfect location and finding the perfect location takes time and research.

The Fry's opening in a couple weeks in Concord is NOT visible from any freeway. It takes 5 minutes once you exit the offramp of 680North before you finally even get in the area of Fry's. The parking there sucks too. BestBuy has a bigger parking lot then the new Fry's in Concord.

Anyone have a .pdf or other scan of the rebate? Can it be applied to the Outpost offering? Thanks in advance.

The old Levitz, right? Haven't seen it myself, just heard that's where it is and I lived in the area for 20+ years. Take 242 instead of 680. And there's tons of parking behind Park-And-Shop that's always empty.

Three of the five Fry's in the Bayarea (not counting the new Concord store) are not visible from a freeway nor are they near the freeway. Parking in Campbell is terrible as is the Palo Alto store. Sunnyvale, SJ and Fremont have nice, large parking lots.

 

[Buickbeast]

anyone found it in DFW?

Thanks

 

[jpeyton]

Was only $39.99 after MIR in Wilsonville, so I picked up a Raidmax Scorpio 868 for $64.99 instead.

Cool looking case.

The exit in Campbell pretty much takes you right into the Fry's parking lot, but, yes, you are correct that it isn't visible from the freeway...I stand corrected and my theory is completely blown out of the water.

The San Jose is the only one further away and it's about, what, 1/8 of a mile? I've actually never been to the Palo Alto one...so sue me.

 

[DevilsAdvocate]

Deal available in Houston? I desparately need a case.

Since I live 45 miles from the closest Fry's. What with gas @ $2.00 plus a gallon? I thought I'd take a run @ my local BB & see if they carried the SLK1600 and would PM it? So with dud89's Linky print-out in hand....They wouldn't PM the AR price but did match the $49.99 price. With Tax, $53.68 OTD. Considering that most of the posts and for me the Sac/CA location are actually selling it for $39.99 AR. I figure $10.00 more and 2 hours less of driving is worth it for me. The real bonus to this is that BB carries the SLK2600AMB not the SLK1600 (same 300 Watt Smart Power PS) and the print out doesn't mention the model # just Fry's SKU #3956948. The picture looks pretty much the same. Even if they call Fry's to verify it's worth a shot. The three times I called and was on hold for 10 to 15 mins. I never did get thru. I know this is very YMMV and just kinda of warm.... but I just thought I'd share.

The sale is now on in Arizona (Friday's Fry's ad). $49.99 in store with a $20 MIR = $29.99 + (tax on $49.99).

Actually, the SJ store is 0.8 miles east on Brokaw off 101.
The Sunnyvale store is on Arques off Lawence, 0.9 miles west of 101.
The Palo Alto store is around 3 miles west of 101.
None of these are visible from the freeway, only the Fremont store is. That's 1 out of 6 in the Bay Area.

 

[mercuryswitch]

haha, i live near the fremont on, a 2 min drive, 20 min jog

 

[RipperX2k]

Is it on sale at all Fry's? I only see the normal price tag of $59.99 for it. Does the computer just tak off the discounts? Also is the rebate online somewhere? Or is it a special Fry's rebate? Are most people getting the IR?

 

[MrCodeDude]

Fry's suck at the rebates.

And it's on sale until Tuesday.

Anyone know off hand if the San Jose store still has them in stock?

Sacramento Fry's is also visible and right off the exit...as are the majority in So Cal.

Anyway, thanks for taking a flippant expose so dead serious. Thanks for not taking me to court.

Still waiting on Enermax case/ps from 11/28/03 so I'm very wary about Frys now.

Fry's isn't visible from a freeway either in Sunnyvale or in Palo Alto.
