I wonder if this portends a similar fate for Microcenter?

  Have not been there in a while but seems everything online is sold out. Kinda weird.

  I don't think so. Microcenter seems to be doing decent at least in my area. There was a fry's within 10 minutes of that microcenter and even years ago I went that place was just terrible. Empty shelfs, dust on everything, boxes that were faded, price tags faded, boxes on the floor, just looked like ran down store. Every time I go to microcenter they are busy and they have many things you cannot buy elsewhere except online. Some things like CPUs are in store only, especially new ones. They price match all the big retailers including amazon. Overall it is always nice experience there, plus the employees in the PC section actually seem to know a thing or two about building computers. Additionally, Fry's website was also trash. Honestly, I am kind of surprised it took this long for them to die.

  Not if the Dallas MicroCenter is any indicator. That place is thriving even with a major GPU / chip shortage.

    Likewise in Houston. Always packed.
