| - I give it four stars for being new and bright and nicely laid out.
Note that Fry's has never been as glitzy and glamorous as the pure consumer electronics store, and they just opened a new BestBuy right down the street... I've always thought Fry's was a different kind of store.
All of the other standard Fry's Electronics stuff applies, though the atmosphere is very different in this store than, say, the various Fry's in the Bay Area.
I think the thing I do miss, though, is the thematic fidelity throughout the store. That is, anyone who has been to the OLD Sunnyvale store (the DIP package on the outside, the electrical components all over the place on the inside), the temple style in Campbell, the western style in Palo Alto, or the other temple style in San Jose, you know that the insides used to slant much more heavily toward the building theme.
Now, they do the outside up a bit and then the insides all seem to look the same. This one and the NEW Sunnyvale store feel like the same place on the inside.
When I moved back to Phoenix from the bay area this was like a bit of home right down the street. There's always some bit of gadgetry to be found at Fry's.
