OK, admit it, you’re just a little bit geeked up over Fry’s Electronics impending arrival in Alpharetta, aren’t you?
The new store on Ga. 9 north of Windward Parkway is nearly complete, and while company officials are tight-lipped about grand opening plans, we can’t be more than a few weeks from opening day. And in a place like this, with so-many techies and tech-happy “civilians,” you’d think the place is going to be a zoo when it opens.
For those who aren’t in the know, Fry’s is rambling gadget storehouse that got its start in Silicon Valley in California, providing the original geeks with just about anything they needed to pull off their computing dreams. There’s already one store in metro Atlanta — near Gwinnett Place Mall.
So, who’s going to be there? Who’s going to stay away? Why?
