A few years ago when he played in SLC,UT he said it was written about the huge new Fred Meyers store that had opened up down town...if this is true than I know the store he is refering to and it is a monster of a department store.....this song reminds me of my college days and fantasizing with my college friends what it would be like to live in a city after society breaks down....it also reminds me of the movie Fight Club....only nicer.....

Fred Meyers is a great song!
I am from Indiana and we don't have Fred Meyers stores.  So when my friend and I heard the song we thought the song was about a guy Fred Meyers.
Then I moved out to Washington and saw a store.  It all clicked.  It is an even better song now that I know the real story behind it.  I am reborn with the greatness of Fred Meyers and Glen Philips!
Forever continue to make great music Glen!

I like this song because I am from Portland, OR and hence know what Fred Meyers is. It a local chain or grocery-housewares-everything stores, kind of like a Target. Anyway, thought I would share.

I Love Glen Phillips!!! Fred Meyers is my favorite song on the album. It's fun, upbeat, and a great song to sing along to...When my boyfriend and I saw Glen live, I was so anxious to hear Fred Meyers and he finally played it as an encore....It was amazing!!!!

A great song and a great "abulum" from Glen.  I am a big Toad fan and I like this album a lot too.  I have a detailed review of it here:

This song will probably become the most popular song on the album because of its "poppie" roots.  This is not a bad thing to have "poppie" roots, it makes the song fun to sing along and it makes you feel good.  the most complicated part of this song for me is trying to understand it.  this is what i have come up with so far and i is a little abstract:

I think Fred Meyers is an old broken down department store that kids used to hang around or maybe even live there.  or

maybe he just used to spend a lot of time at the store when he was younger, sort of like their mall hang out scene.

i don't know, but this is a real cool tune to play.  I bet if he releases any singles it will be that one
