I was thinking about this when Melissa wanted the tv, we've bought stuff from Fry's before but get nothing in advertising from them at all. One thing Microcenter does well is plastering their warez, daily emails, specials, the monthly paper/flyer thing. I mean, I was ready to pick up a set from Costco, being "last years" model would of worked fine for what she wanted when the email came about the Sony tv with Google blowout sale from Microcenter. I didn't even think of Fry's. It looks like another big box store is opening in the area, hhgregs I guess. With Best Buy sort of struggling a while, seems odd someone thought a new group of stores would work, think it said they are opening 15 of them here. I mention that because that appliance store that open up next door to MC on Elston is gone, don't even remember the name of it. Think it was there for two years, kind of surprising it lasted that long. -bruce bje@ripco.com
