When is the Renton, WA Fry’s opening? Even journalists are befuddled. On our way down to IKEA, I spotted several cars clustered in the Fry’s parking lot, so we drove over to investigate. There wasn’t much to see, but there were a few workers sitting outside on a break, and we could peer through an open door at stacks of furnishings. Considering the number of cars and the hour (a late Friday evening), I am guessing they are trying to hit a date not too far away. The sheer size of the building is promising: 152,000 square feet. The Fry’s in San Marcos, CA opened without advertisement, with faithful fans flocking in before the announced grand opening (one fan circled the parking lot every day for months).
