[Rumor] Microcenter to shut down?

would be easy to trace the deed of trust and confirm the sale.

Amegy does have a large lease rolling at 5-pop and they are always looking for leverage. They also own land in the CBD that they tried to use as leverage before (similar idea of building a facility). Given some of the blocks available in the area - Galleria/Uptown, I'd still think this is only a play and that Shorenstein will acquiesce on rents. Would be a good site for a new tower though.

 

Always liked Microcenter, especially their open box deals. Got my MBP open boxed for $300 cheaper than regular and it had apple care for 3 years on it because the previous owner must have purchased it when he bought the laptop. It was in sublime condition too.

 

Its pointless nostalgia but I kind of like all of the old placards on the front windows of companies that no longer exist. It's like a weird homage to old tech companies. For example, they have a US Robotics placard which makes me think of my old 14.4k Modem from the early 90s.

 

Microcenter was still open?

I figured it went the way of CompUSA and "Incredible universe" over a decade ago...

 

Always like Microcenter for their cheap deals, but my one complaint is price matching with them is like bargaining at a flea market.

 

Wasn't there one on Westheimer way way past Beltway? It's probably been gone for years. It was a huge kind of pc megamart back in the day, but this would have been 20 years ago. Wasn't it near a popular Chinese buffet with Koi fish out front?

 

I buy all my **** from Microcenter.
FK.

 

i need to go turn in this post card for a free 16gb flash drive asap then..

 

If they change that Microcenter on 610/San Felipe to something I can actually use, like an HEB... that'd be a good day.

 

^ But they aren't. It supposed to become an office tower for Amegy Bank

 

Microcenter is based god in Houston. Always have the best deals regarding cpu/motherboard combos.

 

Yea. It's the go to place for IT stuff. I prefer it to frys.

 

My coworker found a post on their FB page earlier today that said it wasn't true. I went to look now and it's gone. hmmm...

 

****, that would suck. Although it seems like Amazon just kicks their ass lately. Why get off my ass and drive to the store when I can get my 1TB 3.0 USB external hdd for 65 bucks free 2 day shipping?

Hard to compete with that.

 

They are already building a new HEB center at the corner of Post Oak and San Felipe.

 

^you mean whole foods.

Heb is building on the corner of San Felipe and fountain view.

 

Now they build that **** when I used to live right next to it when it was a ****ty apartment complex known as Three Fountains.

 

Noooooo!

 

Ehh, I newegg / Tigerdirect / Amazon most stuff. Sometimes Fry's.
