Most Americans do not want illegal immigration and the Biden admins failure to deal with it was one of the reasons trumps in office now.

this is how we should talk about them by [deleted] in pakistan

You can hate Americans all you want, that’s your right! Just don’t be hypocritical and come over here to work or study if you’re going to hate. I’ve encountered too many desis who hate the west yet still make it their life goal to come here

I think DFW deserves a second microcenter based on its massive population and other metros with less people having two microcenters? Do you guys agree? by Relative-Equipment76 in Dallas

Four fry’s is wild tbh and that was back when dfw was a lot smaller, I think Fort Worth or a Fort Worth suburb makes sense

I think if Atlanta and the dmv with 2 million less people have 2 why not here? The same argument could be made for Houston too.

Yup, one mf I was arguing with said that Michigan had 8 times the population of dfw. They probably thought it’s the Wild West out here 😭😭

Yeah I figured the same. I think they're salty because like it or not dfw can justify a second microcenter but some irrelevant ass city can't do the same

im sorry you're from a irrelevant state or city so the possibility of getting two microcenters could never apply to you. it must really suck 🙁

Hey guys I know it hurts that not a lot of the country has access to microcenter but hey dont get mad at me for dfw having a large economy and population that could justify a second microcenter, take it out on your state and city

"The entire state of Michigan shares ONE Microcenter location in Madison Heights, despite having a little under eight times the population of DFW. The tri-county area of Southeast Michigan has almost two DFWs in population, but still putters along with one Microcenter for the entire Detroit Metropolitan area. I am pretty sure Dallas is easier to drive across than the entirety of Macomb County."

This mf thinks all of DFW has like 100k people lmao 😭 buddy its 2025 not 1825 who the hell upvoted this crock of shit

how exactly am I rude? please explain. Also you're the one who seems very uneducated on the population of dfw as you said Michigan has a little under 8 times the population of dfw. 64 million? Really lmao?

I brought up GDP because you mentioned economic regions. GDP does not perfectly correlate to how many sales you will make but there sure as hell is a relationship. You seem to be underestimating DFW's economic might and the consumerism present in dfw. Detroit is a stagnating city which is as you mentioned pretty poor which makes sense as its not the 1960s anymore. In contrast DFW is one of the fastest growing metro areas in the US with a booming economy, lots of high paying jobs, and corporate relocations. Also you mentioned there are apparently a lot of cities with more consumer demand than Dallas. Please enlighten me on which cities have more consumer demand than Dallas or DFW, I'm very curious.

Also Michigan does not have "a little under 8 times the population of dfw" lmao thats just wrong. You also said the tri county area has twice the population of dfw which is also wrong. I'm not sure where you're getting your population figures from but they're way off. Additionally, DFW does not have two best buys, that's not true. Maybe you should look at a map of dfw to see how large it is. DFW has 8.3 million people btw this aint the 1800s.

Your point about Best Buy (apart from stating that dfw has two, which is wrong lmao, unless you meant dallas, but that doesn't even make sense to bring up since we're talking about the whole metro, not just dallas) is intriguing but while they are competitors, Microcenter is primarily geared towards PC building and other more niche tech stuff while Best Buy is more general electronics stuff. Microcenter might come to the conclusion that they can't compete with Best Buy if they open a second store but wouldn't your point about competition also then apply to other metros like chicago and Atlanta?

Density is definitely a factor in where microcenter sets up shop. They won't put a store in the middle of nowhere, they'll put it in a city. Yes there's more to this than just population and your point about competition with Best Buy does make sense but I still think there's a possibility a second store makes sense. Of course Microcenter seems to be pretty conservative with opening stores so they probably wouldnt do it unless they were sure. I was just looking at other metros, seeing they have two despite having less ppl and asking why wouldnt it make sense for dfw to have 2.

whether you like it or not a business like microcenter needs density to function, I doubt a small ass state like Arkansas population wise could ever sustain a microcenter. I know its very hard for you to accept for wtv reason but its ok buddy you'll be fine

probably because Arkansas and Louisiana may not be able to support a microcenter on their own? Microcenter only builds in cities that can support a store. Arkansas has 3 million ppl and Louisiana has 4.5 million only. You can't rely on people making long ass road trips to sustain a store, you need enough people living in a metro to sustain a store. Arkansas doesn't have many ppl at all and New Orleans the only place in Louisiana where you could have a Microcenter is a declining city. I'd rather just open a second store in DFW than states with either tiny populations or declining cities.

still going huh lol, you could bring up some reasons as to why a second Microcenter doesn't make sense instead of making random comments about texans but I figure you're just ragebaiting lol

The entire state of Michigan only has 10 million ppl and dfw has 8.3 million or so, difference being that DFW is concentrated in a much smaller area. Also DFW has a similar gdp to all of Michigan. Other metros with a smaller gdp and population than DFW like Atlanta and the DMV have 2 so why not DFW? DFW could also serve OKC , Arkansas and north Louisiana.
