Florida desperately needs a Micro Center (or two)!
I live in Miami, FL and the nearest Micro Center is 14 hours away in Marietta, GA. We need one desperately down here as all we have that passes for a computer store is Best Buy. We used to have Tiger Direct but they were bought out by PC Mall and are no longer brick-and-mortar. Florida is a very long state and we could use one in Miami and another in Orlando.

Hello @etrigan63! Welcome to the community!You're definitely not the first to ask for a Micro Center in Florida! I've heard rumors from time to time about there possibly being plans for a new store there. Nothing concrete just yet, but hopefully, the future holds something positive for Miami or Orlando!In the meantime, we do still have our website, which has our shippable items listed!Thanks for sharing your interest! I'll be happy to share it with our corporate office!

SAME, We need one here in Killeen, Texas. Nearest one is in Fort Sam Houston. 6 hour drive to and from.
-
With only best buy and such a large US Army population (Fort Hood, one of if not the largest US based Army bases), Best buy gets sold out of almost everything very quickly.
-
Yes please on Florida!!!!!
-
Hello! Glad to see the support here, hopefully one day it can happen!
-
YES I am not going to dive 8+ hours to go to microcenter but love the store
-
I don't live in Florida but yeah I was surprised to check out where all the Microcenter stores were at and none were in Florida. There's 2 relatively close to me in GA but rip to those in South GA and FL.
-
same thing. I live in Bushnell FL and I'd like to drive 1 hour to go to Tampa and pick up computer parts.
-
I’ve been asking for MC in south Florida for the last 2 years on Twitter and on the community forum. And tbh I feel like hope is losing grip…
-
I agree with you, the nearest Micro Center to me is in Atlanta which is a 5 hour drive from me and I ain't going to take up a whole day of mine just to go to a computer store.
-
Sarasota, FL here! It'd definitely be great to have PC/tech store like micro center in the state at all let alone nearby. Orlando and Miami would for sure be a great fit to settle down a couple of shops.
-
Greetings,
Thank you for posting on the Micro Center Community! Thank you for providing us a location you think a Micro Center would be great at! I don't really have the pay-grade to make the decision of opening up a location but I can send this to the people that are and see their thoughts and opinions!
-
Florida and more on the west coast may be a possibility soon. Micro Center is always expanding.
-
I live in Ocala Fl it is a pretty big town and we so need a Micro Center here or at least close by. There is a lot of pc repairs shops here and we need parts ever day.
.
-
Thanks for your suggestion! Perhaps one day it can happen.
-
I love that a Florida shop might open but Ocala is 2 hours and 30 minutes away from me. So maybe you can move it to somewhere in Orlando, so people from all through Florida can get a awesome gaming setup.
-
Thank you for your suggestion! Perhaps it will happen one day!
-
I live about an hour away from orlando so how about put it in the middle of the state so it will be accessible to everyone in fl
-
Hello, thanks for voicing your support!
-
Yes, we're in St. Cloud and have a lot of new development coming in the central Florida area like Sunbridge, a 20,000-acre community and NeoCity ($1.2B development)
Your customers will be coming and those already in Orlando are already there :)
-
Hello! Glad to see the support, perhaps one day it will happen!
-
Yes! Please bring your store to Florida! My name is Tyler and I live in Melbourne, Florida. I am very close to Cocoa Beach, and about an hour away from Orlando. We could use quite a few of your stores down here for young engineers like myself and so many others on here! Please come!
-
I may be biased since I live in Tallahassee, but I think Tallahassee would be a great location for a Micro Center! Orlando may be the center of the state for most of the population, but Tallahassee would be far more accessible to people in the panhandle, especially those as far west as Pensacola. Tallahassee is also one of the youngest cities, so there's probably more interest in computers on average.
-
Hello to both of you, thanks for sharing your support!
-
Miami would be the most profitable for microcenter. the 3 most populated counties are dade (miami) broward, palm beach. it just makes sense. miami is a major city and the closext MC is in Georgia; not even right across the border. why dont MC want millions of dollars more profit by comming to miami. Orlando can use one 2.
-
I'm with you on this! I live in Miami as well and would love to see a new location in South Florida :)
-
Greetings, thanks to both of you for sharing your support!

"25 Micro Center" But only in 16 states? I just moved to Orlando, FL escaping from NY and I can't believe there's no Micro Center in the entire state of Florida?! - I mean NY State has 4 Micro Center's and really do you need to have 2 pretty much close to each other Brooklyn and Queens?! - Makes no sense! -> Relocate one of them! Go ahead and take your pick. Many people in Florida want to build gaming systems, yet they don't know what a Micro Center is, it's a shame -> We need a Micro Center in Orlando, FL!!!
-
Greetings. I don't know about moving an existing store, but Florida is highly requested so definitely something we are looking into!
-
OMG i thought I was the only one thinking about this. A microcenter in south Florida would be amazing. I used to live less than 15 min from one in Jersey and I miss it so much. Please bring one down here!!
