fry's started in the silicon valley, first store was located in sunnyvale in an EXTREMELY small location and they finally moved into a larger location down the street. they expanded around the bay area, then acquired the "incredible universe" stores. i used to go to the really small sunnyvale location from time to time (i had friends that worked there too) until they opened the bigger one in san jose (i forget which was second. maybe campbell, but i don't like that one.)
