Anecdata != data.
That MicroCenter continues to exist tells me that there's at least enough people shopping for parts in meatspace that there's net revenue to be had.
- brk 10mo agoMicrocenter has a total of 29 stores across the US. Yankee Candle has almost 10x as many locations (240). Yes, Microcenter "exists", but primarily through selective cultivation of their locations. From a pure market footprint perspective, they are outclassed by a candle company, and many other niche businesses.
