On February 26, Thirdwave will open a new PC shop "Dospara Himeji MEGA Don Quijote Hirohata" in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture. Dospara has been aggressively increasing stores over the last few years and just opened new stores in Kagoshima City, Kagoshima Prefecture and Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture last month. A preview for the press was held the day before the opening, so I would like to report on the appeal of the new store. [See another image about this article] ■ Opened as a tenant of the shopping mall "MEGA Don Quijote Himeji Hirohata" "Dospara Himeji MEGA Don Quijote Hirohata" (hereinafter referred to as "Dospara Himeji Hirohata") can be understood from its name. It will open as a tenant of the shopping mall "MEGA Don Quijote Himeji Hirohata", which has various tenants. Don Quijote is famous as a comprehensive discount store, but MEGA Don Quijote is a shopping mall with various tenants centered on Don Quijote. The MEGA Don Quijote Himeji Hirohata store opened in February 2018 in Himeji City, Hyogo Prefecture, and had 28 tenants at the time of opening. The nearest station is Yumesakigawa Station on the Sanyo Dentetsu Amihi Line, which is a privileged location just a 5-minute walk from the station. The shared parking lot is also large and can park 1,637 cars. In addition, there is a bus stop "Yumemaemachi 1-chome" in front of the entrance, which can be reached from Himeji Station by one bus. ■ Due to the location of MEGA Don Quijote as a tenant, his Dospara Himeji Hirohata store, which focuses on selling used PCs, occupies a large space on the 2nd floor, and the interior is large and bright. The aisles are wide, so you can take a leisurely look around. The manager of the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store is Ken Nozawa, who has a background as an infrastructure engineer and a restaurant manager. The Dospara Himeji Hirohata store has a slightly different atmosphere from other Dospara stores. So I asked Mr. Nozawa about the features and strengths of the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store. The following is the content. The Dospara Himeji Hirohata store has a store area of 595 square meters, which is one of the largest Dospara stores. The concept is "excitement" that accelerates the enjoyment of PC games and creative activities, and the four keywords are "see, touch, try, and share." It is also characterized by focusing on the assortment of used PCs, and it devotes a considerable amount of space to the exhibition of used PCs. To target the family coming to Don Quijote, I thought that a reasonably priced second-hand PC would be suitable. Also, since it seems that many customers will visit the store in the third generation, we prepared a large number of tables and chairs that also serve as a business negotiation space. Grandfathers and grandmothers can sit in chairs and wait, and parents and children can slowly decide on the items. Of course, we are also making efforts to keep up with the competition for our own PCs and gaming PCs, which Dospara is good at, and we have prepared an assembly space "Dosparabo" that can be used free of charge. "Dosparabo" also offers a service to rent out tools necessary for assembly such as screwdrivers and screws free of charge. In terms of touching and trying, you can actually touch many devices such as gaming keyboards, gaming mice, headsets, distribution webcams, and microphones to see how they feel. In addition, we have prepared a video distribution experience corner where you can easily experience the recently popular video distribution. Also, in terms of sharing, photography inside the store is permitted, and you can freely post to SNS. In addition, as a new service only for this store, we have started total PC support to support all PC problems with a fixed monthly fee of 2,980 yen. Not only PCs (including used ones) purchased at this store, but also PCs made by manufacturers purchased at other stores are covered by this service. It is a convenient service that provides total support from Internet and email settings to troubles such as PC not starting, and he hopes to expand it to other stores in the future. In addition, if you order the PC parts and peripherals on display, we will also offer a service that will deliver them to your home with free shipping. ■ There is a wide selection of products in each corner. Let's take a look at the inside of the store in order. The first is the used PC corner, which is also a feature of the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store. Compared to other Dospara stores, the used PC corner occupies a large space, and it is a place you can see immediately after entering the store. The used PC corner also has a wide selection of notebook PCs from manufacturers, gaming notebook PCs, and gaming desktop PCs. In particular, the "GALLERIA" brand gaming notebook PCs and gaming desktop PCs are lined up with recent products and are recommended for those who place importance on cost performance. Another feature is that the business negotiation space is wide. There is a table for 4 people as well as a table for 2 people who mainly hold business talks, and it can be used as a break space when a family of 3 generations comes. We are also focusing on support, and in addition to casual consultation, we also purchase used PCs as well as repairs. Of course, the homebrew PC corner is also substantial. From major parts such as video cards, motherboards and CPUs to small items such as cables and grease, we have all the parts you need to make your own PC. In addition, there is an assembly space "Dosparabo" that can be used free of charge, and all the tools are rented out, so you can build a PC with the parts you purchased here. Of course, Dospara's specialty gaming PC-related products also boast a full lineup. The appeal of the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store is that you can actually touch the gaming keyboard, gaming mouse, gaming headset, etc., and listen to the sounds to check the usability. Recently, the number of people who are interested in video distribution such as live games is increasing, but the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store has a wide selection of distribution equipment such as webcams, microphones, and switchers. As with gaming devices, you can actually try out webcams and microphones, and there is also a video distribution experience corner where you can experience Vtuber. There is also an exhibition corner for collaboration models with popular professional gamers and a special exhibition corner for Dospara focusing on specific brands. First of all, SteelSeries brand products were exhibited as a special exhibition. In addition to the unique service "PC Total Support" only for the Dospara Himeji Hirohata store, which was explained by the store manager Nozawa, and the "One Coin Diagnosis" that diagnoses the PC you brought in for 500 yen, you can take pictures inside the store and share it on SNS. There was also a panel. ■ Opening commemorative bargains and 10% point reduction To commemorate his opening, bargains such as mobile batteries will be sold and a galapon lottery will be held for two days on February 26th and 27th, as well as the purchase price. A great campaign will be held in which 10% will be redeemed. All products are eligible for 10% point reduction, so if you are near you, why don't you visit?
