Imminent Collapse of Fry’s?
<< < (9/12) > >>
james_s:
Unfortunately the nearest Microcenter is a more than 18 hour drive from me so it's not really a replacement for Fry's.
LaserSteve:
Sorry to hear that. Next time I see Microcenter's regional manager, I'll tell him they should pick up a few Fry's locations.

He's usually greeting customers at the local store.

All I can say is they own their buildings and supply chain, have their own house brand for things like Arduino, and are very well ran.

Its like stepping back into the 70s or 80s retail.. If your a Brit, think of your tech shopping being a real life "Are you Being Served ?" Episode, minus the screw-ups. Right down to dress shirts and ties on the sales guys.

Hakko and Weller on tap. They do have web ordering, too.

I only know Micro Center through JayzTwoCents on YouTube, but they look like they know what they're doing.

I think my count is seven. I really should have collected a "passport".

Amen.

No! That would be the kiss of death. They're too big and wasteful.

They wouldn't have to fill the entire space, it could be subdivided in many cases.
