Profile Nicknames

Opportunity for new location in Illinois
Peoria IL has an open storefront where their Best Buy used to be that would be a great opportunity. It is between St. Louis and Chicago so it wouldn’t be particularly difficult for distribution networks and the central location would be attractive to a lot of shoppers that don’t want to travel 3 hours or more for a Micro…

Has Microcenter looked into opening a Tampa Store?
I mean it's long overdue opening a store in Florida but in Miami at the moment is a long haul from Tampa. It's disappointing that the only option on the West Coast of Florida is a Bestbuy and their options are slim and limited. The only options outside of Bestbuy is Amazon or Mom and Pops shops.

Huntsville, AL - Suggested Store Location
Hi! I would like to suggest Huntsville AL for a new store location. We have a pretty tech-savvy town here with little options in terms of electronics stores.

I want to choose between the 7800x3d 3 in bundle, 9700x 3 in 1 bundle or the 7700x 3 in 1 bundle
