Prime location (Or: MediaMarkt is really in the city centre now)

Last week MediaMarkt moved about 300 meters. Still on Grote Marktstraat, but now it is even closer to the city centre action. MediaMarkt is like a Dutch Best Buy, for my American readers. The new location is in the building which used to house the V&D clothing store (1969-2015) and the Canadian store Hudson's Bay (2017-2019). Hopefully MediaMarkt has more luck than those two stores did...

It is definitely a prime location, even better than the previous one which was near the end of the Grote Markstraat shopping area. And what picture isn't accentuated with someone cycling past?

This image is kind of funny – I hadn't realized the girl in the middle was basically filming herself with MediaMarkt in the background. Maybe she was streaming it to YouTube? Especially with how she is holding her free hand by her face.

I definitely won't miss the old MediaMarkt location, with its old grimy carpet and horrible stairs. It was either take the horrible stairs or wait for the slowww elevator. Either way, you lost. There's no carpet in this new location and there are escalators if you want to go to the upper floor. That alone makes it a win in my book.
