The Best Computer Store in Chicago, IL
Also Serving: Evanston, Lincolnwood, Norridge, Elmwood Park
In
1996, Micro Center entered the Chicagoland area and played a part in the re-development of the Bucktown neighborhood with our store at 2645 N. Elston Avenue in the Riverfront Plaza shopping center. Micro Center ushered in a new era of computer retailing in Chicago with a much higher level of customer service and employee expertise, combined with an unmatched selection of computers, software, accessories and computer parts for building your own PC. No store in the Chicagoland area had previously offered as many computers and computer-related solutions as Micro Center.
As one Micro Center Chicago customer noted, "Being able to shop at Micro Center is a huge perk of living in Chicago if you are an electronics enthusiast. It's a great place to check out hardware and pick up last minute items you may have
forgotten that are hard to find locally." The store offers an unmatched, guaranteed in-stock selection of over 25,000 products — desktops, laptops, electronics, plus everything you need for gaming — from your favorite tech brands.

Meet Your Manager, Dan Buncik
Dan grew up 50 miles northwest of the Chicago store in McHenry, IL. After attending college, Dan worked in a leadership role at one of the nation's largest retailers for 14 years, mostly as a store manager and district food manager, before joining Micro Center in April 2017. Dan describes coming to work for Micro Center as the best professional decision he has ever made.
Dan supported various Micro Center locations in different roles before becoming the manager of Micro Center Westbury on Long Island. Next, Dan served as manager of Micro Center North Jersey before becoming manager of Micro Center Chicago in January 2019.
What Dan loves most about Micro Center is the best-in-class experience our associates strive to deliver to consumers every day. Dan is proud to meet new customers who have never been in a Micro Center before and hear how they feel like a kid in a candy store, or talk with a regular customer who travels nearly three hours each way to shop at Micro Center Chicago because of the great customer service our associates provide.
When he's not spending time at work, Dan loves spending time with his family, traveling, and is an avid sports fan. Dan also enjoys attending music concerts, and to date has seen over 300 different bands perform live.
