Micro Center Opens New Store in Austin
Micro Center has opened its store in Austin, located in the former Fry's Electronics space.
Austin, TX, November 14, 2026 — Micro Center, a retailer specializing in computer hardware and electronics, has officially opened its doors in Austin, Texas. The new store is situated in the former location of Fry’s Electronics, a retail chain that ceased operations nationwide in 2021.
The opening marks a significant development for technology enthusiasts and consumers in the Austin area who have been anticipating the arrival of a dedicated electronics retailer. Micro Center is known for its extensive selection of PC components, gaming gear, laptops, and other technology products. The company also offers services such as custom PC building and technical support.
The choice of location, the former Fry’s Electronics space, is noteworthy. Fry’s Electronics, once a prominent fixture in the tech retail landscape, left a void in many markets upon its closure. The establishment of Micro Center in this familiar retail footprint could provide a sense of continuity for shoppers accustomed to the site.
Further details regarding the specific product inventory, services offered at the Austin location, or the exact date of the store’s opening were not immediately available. The company’s expansion into Austin is part of its broader strategy to serve growing tech communities across the United States. Micro Center currently operates numerous stores in other major metropolitan areas.
