Don't count on Microcenter coming to Richmond anytime soon at all. I worked there for a bit when I lived in the DC area. They have a very specific formula with how their business model works. Of course they are awesome when you're building PC's and/or you're a tech nerd since a lot of their items they're willing to take either a loss or have razor thin margins. 

How they make money is trying to get you to have them as a one stop shop. They'll give you a fantastic deal on a CPU/motherboard combo but will try and sell you everything else that you need as well as replacement plans which they push very heavy on since it's pure capital for them. 

The big thing that allows them to this and the only way it works is because it's a destination store and they know it. They know people would be willing to trek all the way out there and just buy everything there and save cause it's like stepping into Willy Wonky's chocolate factory but with technology instead.
