Man, I remember when Minh was just running a little store with his brother and a few guys behind Red Lobster.

He's come a long ways.

[89coupe]

I remember him telling me that his goal was to be bigger then Future Shop.

[Doozer]

That's excellent. It'll save me a 1hr round-trip drive! More time to spend in the store. :thumbsup:

[Biga Ramrod]

Thats great news, I go there at least once a month and end up driving to the N.E. Thanks for the heads up man :D :D :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :eek: :eek: They have the best prices on everything!!

[Xaroxantu Zero]

Dammit! I used to live near a C-Train station too! >_<

[infected]

I can practically walk over... hahaha.

[CKY]

Dalhousie? So it's gonna be in the station? They have enough room there? I didn't even know theres vacant stores there.

[schocker]

yay, finally somewhere close, but where exactly in dalhousie will it be, hopefully a decently sized location. Beats driving to the NE though.

dalhousie station is the name of the shopping complex:rolleyes:

[AllGoNoShow]

No, it would be called Dalhousie Station Shopping Center, not the station

[schocker]

well it is technically dalhousie station like crowfoot crossing, but he was just trying to be hip and shorten it down a bit.

[AllGoNoShow]

well then in that case we live in calg can

[kaishen]

i think its sportsmart not sportcheck, and yes they have chapters and orange julius.

[kaishen]

ahhh chapters!! yep...kinda remember them...haha

[Ashers]

Awwww... That sucks... the one in the NE is still closer to me because a) I haven't been in dalhousie and b) the NE is a much more direct route from my house or if I go there before work... I just hope they don't have more stuff than the NE!

EDIT: Changed "have" to "haven't" ... my typing sucks when I'm tired... or just my linguistic skillz...

[Euro838]

Hopefully the line ups won't be as long.

huh?

Good move. Although I don't shop at Memex as oftern as I used too, still good to see they are only 10min away when I need them instead of expensive crap @ Compusmart.

[thrasher22]

Thats wicked, the only reason I never go there is because its almost 45 each way :D

nuff said, that shopping complex has been called Dalhousie Station before the c-train station was built

[Xtrema]

So when? No info on dates?

I'll bet he outsold Doppler that was on the other side of the street. Bought my second computer from him there, P133 zoom.

[HyperZell]

Great news, I must say. Also, something else I must say is that Xtrema's sig is hilarious. What's that all about, anyways?

[The Cosworth]

dammit, go figure right after I move!

I remember working with Minh at Futureshop. I was right out of high school and he had just finished university. He told me was going to quit and start selling RAM out of his basement......I thought he was crazy. At the time, RAM was $10/meg......how things have changed since then.

[HondaRice]

what next a memory express forest lawn? how old is this minh guy?

[Xtrema]

Why? Pawn shop got that demographic covered. :D

Don't think he hit 40 yet. Many has tried and failed. They have done it right and able to keep most customers.

I think they have to expand on-line. Corporate sale is a dead end unless it's for services. And if it weren't for their service, NCIX is kicking ass on the amount of stuff carried.

[The Cosworth]

they have my business even after I moved.

Even if they are selling something for the same price I would still buy it there.

My uncle is the manager or assistant or something of the south store

[black13]

HELL YEAH!!! Just in time for the my new computer build.

I would rather spend my money their rather than any chain store like Futureshop/Bestbuy.

[avow]

this is the best news i have heard all day :D:D:D


and a new website too :D:D:D http://beta.memoryexpress.com/

[oilerfan4lyfe]

Minh's a good guy...bought my desktop from him a while ago...actually it's going to be the 6th anniversary of my comp in a couple of days (yah I'm kind of a nerd)...and it's still running strong :)

Isn't that all the time?

[gatorade]

haha doppler I remember that store

[Fag]

my brother wants one of those t-shirts

[wunderkind]

Minh isnt that old, maybe late 30's early 40's, but I totally agree, amazing business savvy.

It's too bad you don't see them in the store more, sometimes i get the feeling that with expansion they are losing touch with their base. I mean I understand the need to grow, but if your store managers don't do things the way you would(or used to) customers are gonna complain.

It's a tough situation but we'll see how it turns out, I'm pretty thrilled they will have a store in the NW.

Yeah wtf they started hiring white people?!?!

:D j/k

[abyss]

You have to remember that there are 4 running stores right now (including the corporate office) as well as trying to sort out the purchase and stuff with the new Dalhousie store. All the owners have made an honest effort to spend time in each store equally, I think they're doing pretty good actually.

I hope the customers complain about the store managers if they're not doing things right, that's the point!

apparently they agree, now the have "corporate specialists" and no corporate dept, can't imagine why I would want to wait in line for 30 minutes to find out my usual sales person is on his days off and nobody knows where my server ram is!

But casualty of expansion i guess...:(

Honestly, one of the funniest replies I've read on Beyond. :thumbsup:

[cynik]

Credit should be given to all the brothers .. their working together is what brought memx to where it is today. I have to admit I miss the way the store was run back when it was just the mcleod location, but they still manage to beat everyone else in the city to this day.

New website looks slick.

[Kritafo]

anyone know when the new store will open?

[Xtrema]

Originally posted by Kritafo

When they find enough people to man it.

In Calgary, that's probably never.

[Kritafo]

yeah..it's sucking..we went up to the South store yesterday at like 1:30 in the afternoon it was like a zoo, we just left...man I hope that NW store opens soon.
