I drove by the construction site and got all excited. This is thier first foray into this market, apparently. During my Hot Deals addict days I was always dissapointed to see all the awesome west coast deals. I FINALLY get to participate in the madness.

I seem to remember someone saying that all the stores have a different theme? Wonder what this one will be.

Isn't there some humor or parady song featuring Downers Grove Il??

If there is, I'm not aware of it. Google didn't find it easily either.

I know there is, but about all I can remmeber of it is that Downers Grove featured prominently in it. Met some folks on a cycling tour from their once, and they had heard of it. Early 90's ... gonna bug me now.

Sweet. Maybe that will put one in the cincy area and put that POS Micro Center out of business.

Bleh, Downer's Grove. I don't think I'll be going out there much. I hate toll roads.

 

[djheater]

Take 290? Might be worth it for some of the deals. I just hope they offer the same deals that the Cali stores do so we can use Hot Deals as a resource.

Wow... they've been talking about building a store in Downers Grove for years. I'm shocked that they are actually going to do it.
Not all the stores are themed btw. The Wilsonville, OR store is not. But then again, Fry's didn't build that store, it used to be an old Incredible Universe (that Fry's bought after IU folded).

some days I miss Chicago... then I remember the traffic :disgust:

prepare to be underwhelemed, other than the few specials i neve did buy much from fry's. Newegg and others usually have better deals.

I am from cali going to school in chicago, so its nice to have a fry's here. Just don't expect too much, and don't buy anything thats been returned!
