Fry's, a long time silicon valley and southern california favorite for your hardcore geek computers and electronics has opened a store in downers grove, illinois, right down the street from CompUSA, BestBuy, Circuit City, and probably others that sell the same kind of merchandise. i'm guessing me and about 10 other people who live in the area have heard of Fry's.
I'm sure this is a trial balloon for the chicago market, but i hope they are ready to write off those losses, as i think the market is about saturated here!

man, i thought fry's had closed a bunch of its stores in central CA. didn't think they were actually doing well -- maybe this is an attempt to rejuvenate themselves in a more, uhm, provincial tech-retail part of the US. Or so they thought.
