Huh. If the Indianapolis Frys had a theme, it completely escaped my notice.

> With the opening of the Fishers, Indiana, store, Fry's made a "race track" theme with various hanging displays, including "stop" and "go" signs.

The Burbank Fry's UFO was definitely noticable.

The Frys in San Diego was done with lots of aquariums, the one in Burbank was done with 50s sci-fi movie tropes, one of them in DFW was done all cowboy themed another had a different theme that escapes me.

It's possible, albeit very unlikely, that we had a theme. My observational skills have been found wanting before.

Sadly the only theme I remember from its waning days were the many buckets to capture rainwater; clearly they were struggling to afford to stay open.

Honestly, I'd not be surprised if that store had a racecar theme.

That I would have noticed. I think. Maybe.
