Map of Bay Area Fry’s Electronics Stores
December 21st, 2005 · Comments Off · Maps, Web/Tech, Yahoo
I need to go pick up a hard drive after work today, so since I was looking up the address of the Sunnyvale Fry’s store anyway, I copied and pasted all their Bay Area stores into my MapMaker spreadsheet template and made a Yahoo! Map of Bay Area Fry’s Electronics stores. Enjoy!

Yahoo! MapMaker for Excel 1.01
