This is a strategic location, as it is accessible to carriers. This industrial estate is very well connected and allows access to large freight routes. A very well chosen situation, taking into account the volume of goods incoming and outgoing.
Although it is located in an industrial estate, we can choose to go to pick up the products at the store. The address of the physical store is Avenida Europa, Parcela 2-5 and 2-6. Being in a polygon, communication with public transport is poor. Buses may arrive, but that is something we do not know.
Physical store in Madrid
Seeking to be more accessible to all customers, they decided to start their expansion with different physical stores throughout Spain. The first of the open physical stores is in Madrid, the capital of the country. It is a great idea at a strategic level, since you are in the most populated city in Spain.
The PcComponentes Madrid Store (official name of the store) opened its doors in 2017. This has been the first physical store that they have opened outside the Region of Murcia. Its exact location is Calle de Cavanilles, 35 in Madrid and very close to the well-known Retiro Park.
But you must keep in mind that it is far from being a typical computer store. We will not find display cases with graphics cards, laptops or other computer or electronic components.
The Madrid store It looks a lot like the physical Apple Store. They basically offer a purchase service through the website itself and pick-up at the store. The value they offer is that their technicians will help you configure your new gaming PC, choosing the best option for you.
This physical store has a very specific stock of components and devices. If we buy something that they have in the store, we can take it directly home. But basically, the idea is provide user and collection point supportmore than a computer store to use.
Can you get there by Metro?
It is certainly quite well connected, especially if we arrive by train. The eAtocha train station is very close, we can go on foot from the station, but we can also get a little closer with the Line 1. the stops of Menendez Pelayo and Pacific They leave you quite close to the physical store.
If you arrive in Madrid by plane from the Adolfo Suarez Madrid Barajas Airport, you have to do a little more journey. First, you must take the line 8 and get off on «New Ministries». Now you have to transfer to the Line 6, which is circular Here you can get off at “Count Casal”which is a little closer than “Peaceful”.
These are the closest metro stops to the PcComponentes store in Madrid.
Different bet in Barcelona
If the Madrid store goes around computer stores, the Barcelona one gives another twist to the concept. The Xperience Center of PcComponentes of Barcelona It is one more step in the concept of physical store that we see in the capital of Spain.
The situation of e-Commerce in Murcia is so good that opening conventional physical computer stores does not make much sense. So they have chosen to create spaces where they can buy products and have a different “experience”.
The Xperience Center Barcelona by PcComponentes breaks further with the concept of a computer store. Here we have a space to play, test and experiment with technology. It has been created as a large, totally open space, which is designed for events and product exhibitions.
This space is located in the heart of Barcelona. It is located in the Carrer de Fontanella, nº 5-7very near Plaza Catalunya.
How to get there by subway?
The location is unbeatable, since you can get there by Metro comfortably with the Lines 1 and 3.
If you arrive in Barcelona by plane, from the Barcelona-El Prat airport you take the line 9 and you have two transfer options. The first is in «Torrasa», where do you take the Line 1 or in “University Zone”which is the Line 3.
at the train station «Sans» you have it perfect, because you take the Line 3 directly.
If the train leaves you in the França Stationthen you take the line 4 and you transfer in «Urquinaone».
Will PcComponentes open more physical stores in Spain?
We do not have data at the moment of new physical stores of PcComponentes, but it is not ruled out. We imagine that the COVID pandemic has delayed all expansion plans for the store, especially on a physical level. Well, in the end, it has affected the expansion of the whole world actually.
Most likely, PcComponentes will continue to open new physical stores to offer users different experiences. Some of the possible locations for new stores could be in the Basque Country, Bilbao or perhaps San Sebastián. They could also consider a store in Seville.
There is a possibility that the next physical store is not in Spain. PcComponentes also serves Portugal, so a third store could go to Portuguese lands. Porto and Lisbon are the two cities that could host the next physical store.
Tell us where you would like PcComponentes to open its next physical store. If you have been to any of them, share your experience.
