One of the funniest things I ever saw was the SV Fry's Store back in the early days. It sold 3 things: electronics, junk food, and makeup. Its makeup section was huge. One can imagine its geeky owners desperate for a chance to meet attractive young women hoping to draw them into the store.

The "early days" didn't have makeup. The first store was a converted Fry's grocery market building off Oakmead, much smaller than a modern supermarket.

The second building, or Kern, was triple the size. The current building on Arques is maybe four times that in area.

The early days in my post were the 1980s
