CHARLOTTE — It’s bad news for geeks anxiously awaiting the opening of Charlotte’s Micro Center store.
Charlotte’s Micro Center store was set to have its grand opening on May 10, but that’s been pushed back.
The computer parts retailer sent a notice on Friday that “there has been an unforeseen delay to our Charlotte Grand Opening.”
It’s been a project several years in the making, and developers had originally eyed a late 2023 opening before publicizing that the store would open in “early 2024.”
Now it’s looking like mid-2024 or beyond. The store hasn’t set a new opening date, but Friday’s announcement said an update would come in the “upcoming weeks.”

After more than a year of anticipation, Micro Center is officially opening in Charlotte soon.
The technology-centric megastore will open on May 10 in its new spot on South Boulevard, just south of Woodlawn Road.
The Charlotte location will be Micro Center’s 27th location in the United States. Previously, the next closest store was in the Atlanta area, more than three hours away from Charlotte and nearly six hours away from Raleigh.
Micro Center is known for having some of the lowest prices on new electronics and computer equipment, and many deals are found in-store only. Computer aficionados across Charlotte have been anxiously awaiting the store’s opening, based on numerous posts and comments in the Charlotte Subreddit.
Charlotte’s Micro Center will also have a “Knowledge Bar” offering authorized computer service for Apple, Dell, and HP products.
The chain said in a news release on Wednesday that the store will offer “exclusive discounts and promotions” to celebrate the grand opening on May 10.
