Did you know that every Fry's store has a "theme" to the design? I've only been to the Fremont one, ableit like 50 times in the past year, and I never noticed that the store was designed with a theme in mind. It looks like any Costco or other warehouse type store. How do the other Fry's look? On the website they say they have things like Roman themes, The Wild Wild West, Egyptian themes, etc. Fremont pays tribute to the origins of electricity... wtf... how do u do that

ic... no wonder no one has ever cared enough to mention the themes before. They sound cool, but I guess it wasn't executed very well

The Fremont one's supposed to be like the World's Fair or something.

The one here in Sacramento is a movie theater.

has anyone ever been to the Fremont one? I'm tryign to picture it now and I still dont' believe that there was a theme when they designed that store. It looks like an ordinary store, actually it looks even less "special" then most stores out there

The only thing I remember about the Fremont one is the Jacob's Ladder (think that's what it's called) in the back.

I like the Mayan one

The Fremont one has a working Tesla Coil that they set off every once and awhile. It's pretty cool.

austin's looks ok. though going to fry's and the entrance being made up of a huge piano is *different* the first time you go.

In Arlington, Texas ours has a crappy-worn-out-warehouse theme!!!

It is a trashy, yet extrememly user-friendly, store.

the theme for all their stores should be the movie 'Clueless', as this describes their employees
