This hurts so much because Florida is finally getting a Microcenter but it’s in Miami which is 4 hours away without traffic. Might as well be in another state.

I think my nearest Microcenter is 500 miles away. Is it worth booking a flight to fulfill my dreams?

Every time I go, I feel so blessed to live only 10 minutes away.

Maybe not the best time to mention that I live within 30 minutes of three different Microcenters…

Aah the joys of being near 3 Microcenters. The nearest being half an hour away

I see it as a good thing for me actually lol. The closest one is about a 3 hour drive (and I hate driving), I’ve been there one time to pick up a monitor and there is no doubt in my mind that I would burn every paycheck as I got it if there was one in my town.

Over 200 miles to the nearest shop. I feel your pain.
It kills me that there have been 3-4 places shut down that were in buildings plenty big for a micro center and a gym took most of them over.

I still can’t believe they haven’t tapped the Phoenix market with Frys Electronics going down.

Here, in Spain, there was a boom some 15-20 years ago, with that kind of retailers… it was a wonderful time. Now, most of those businesses have reconverted into cellphone/crappy-chinse technology stores.
Times change…

I had never heard of Micro Center until recently, had no idea what is was. Went in for the first time a couple weeks ago. Went back a week later and gave them $5000, lol

Got one 40 minutes away that opened this year. I’ve already been 4 times!

I pass by one on my way to work every day.

I’ve got a microcenter 20 minutes from me. It’s great
Lambasticantic
Luckily, I have one literally down the street from me.

My local Microcenter is 5 minute walking distance. It’s not good if you want to save money.

Nearest one is states over…

I guess I’m lucky to have 2 within 30 min from me

One is opening in my city early next year and I am STOKED.

I live less than 5 minutes from one. I promise to you all I don’t take my privilege lightly. One of many reasons why people should move the Kansas City. Maybe the most underrated city in the US

There are none in the western NY area, The nearest is ohio which is a 4 hour drive. I went on the microcenter forums to beg them to bring one to our area. There’s a ton of tech nerds here and they would make big bucks if they brought a store here.

Is Best Buy not good?

I like that there’s a whole store full of regular and niche tech products but it’s always crazy busy in there. I try not to go unless I really need something. Also Amazon or Newegg is often cheaper for the same things.

I moved from a place with two to a place with 0. Granted, it was to avoid homelessness, but I still miss it.

4 hours is close enough me.
