Midwestern Expansion?

Scratch170

Would anyone be aware if there are any plans to expand into some of the lesser covered areas in the Midwest? For example, in my home state of Wisconsin there's a huge market for tech in the Madison and La Crosse areas. Madison in particular has a fast-growing tech industry and would honestly be a great location for a store. Would there be any avenue on how to get into contact with someone about this? Or perhaps a petition or poll to gauge interest?

Hi! We do see quite a few requests for a location in Wisconsin, so it's definitely on our radar. We'll be sure to share this with our real estate team to hopefully nudge them in that direction!

Ian Microcenter has owned a property in the Milwaukee area since 2011. What ever happened to the planned store at that location? there has been huge amounts of development, might be a good time to evaluate. Not to mention the $450,000 spent on property taxes for an unused parcel.

BTW: I love Microcenter but I plan my trips as it is 2-3 hours away in Chicago.

We would love to expand to all States one day! That's the dream! Until then we will pass this along to our real estate team!

We would love to have a MicroCenter in the fastest growing area in North Carolina. Was a fan of Fry;s electronics and after having visited several of your location, find it more appealing than a huge warehouse kind. I do real estate and would love to have you in our shopping center or single tenancy.

Might still be a bit of a drive depending on exactly where you live in NC, but we definitely have a store coming sometime next year.

As someone with a few friends living in Wisconsin, specifically Madison, I would love for a store to go there. I could finally send them in for help instead of them clogging up my discord with messages about their computer problems! 😅
