A new look and new store features are coming to Micro Center Columbus, so join us on August 22!

HILLIARD, Ohio, July 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Micro Center is thrilled to announce that its Columbus flagship location will host a Grand Re-Opening on August 22, 2026, unveiling a fully modernized and comprehensive remodeled shopping experience.

As the original home of Micro Center since 1979, Columbus has served as a cornerstone for the local tech community for decades. This comprehensive remodel will feature a refreshed look and feel, including interactive experience centers where PC builders, power users, gamers, and tech enthusiasts can test-drive the latest hardware before they buy.

The original Micro Center location in Columbus opened in 1979 on Lane Avenue. Today, the Columbus location on Bethel Road is just a short hop from Micro Center's corporate offices in nearby Hilliard. The store has long been considered Micro Center's home base, and you'll frequently find our crew there, shooting photos and video, or just picking up the latest tech.

Preview our new store design now, then come back for the Grand Reopening Event on August 22nd.

Exclusive new features: Ubiquiti and more

The Columbus store, located at 747 Bethel Rd, is open during renovations. Highlights of the completed remodel will include:

• Ubiquiti in-Store Experience: A dedicated destination for pro-level networking gear. Customers can explore the latest in UniFi solutions in a specialized environment.
• Upgraded BYO Department: The heart of the Micro Center experience has been leveled up. The Build Your Own (BYO) department features an expanded layout, making it easier for experts to guide you through selecting the perfect components for your next PC or workstation.
