I love Microcenter, though I haven't purchased anything from one in quite some time - I don't buy a lot of new electronics.
I remember as a teenager we would go on "road trips" to Microcenter - 25 minute drive tops and since none of us had any money we would just try and get someone to spend their paycheck on a new GPU or something so we could get second hand excitement from a purchase. It was also the first and only place I've ever seen BAWLS energy drinks.

- ericmay 1y agoI’ve been to the one in Hiroshima. The volume and variety of products is jaw-dropping and fun. Though I was disappointed, although admittedly wasn’t looking to hard, to see the prices were comparable to American prices for the same products - at least for new lenses. It was also great that it was basically attached to the rail line. Such a better development pattern for business and moving people than airlines and airports.
