You are probably already aware that each Fry’s electronics store is built around an elaborate individualized theme. Frys, which first opened in Silicon Valley in 1985, started the themes with its second store in Sunnyvale which is now defunct. The store was designed to look like the inside of a giant computer.
One of the most popular stores is in Burbank, which is all about 50s and 70s Sci Fi movies. Manhattan Beach has a Polynesian theme, and the Fountain Valley Store is modeled after the ruins of ancient Rome, complete with a flowing aqueduct.
My favorite theme by far, is the Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass store in Woodland Hills. Because of its location out in the West Valley, not that many people have actually visited. So for your edification and viewing pleasure, may we present this photo essay. (After the jump)
