October 20, 2011
Fy's Electronics

The failed Great Indoors, will be replaced with a Fry's Electronics sometime in 2012

The old Great Indoors building in Boca Park has been sitting empty for 3 years when it closed it doors in Dec. of 2008. It looks like a new tenant will be moving in- Fry’s Electronics.  Currently Fry’s has one store on the southern end of Las Vegas Blvd which open in 2002.  The huge retail space occupies over 140,000 sq. ft. and is a perfect fit as a large retail footprint. Fry’s criteria include a good location, large store, ample parking and a good number of professional in the area.

Fry’s plans to spend three to five million on interior upgrades including a cafe and is expected to open sometime in 2012. But the company is tight-lipped on any further details.  Bring in Fry’s will be a boom for the current tenets of Boca Park and the near by Tivoli Village.
