Five years ago our beloved mascot was severely damaged in a hail storm. Since his restoration he has been held captive inside the Anderson Lane store suspended from the ceiling. But thanks to Michael, Mighty Mouse will be atop our new pole sign within weeks.

]]> Discount Electronics Anderson Lane Our oldest store gets a makeover.

Our oldest store at 1011 W. Anderson Lane got a face lift. Rene and Gary of Pro Masonry pulled off another on-time project for us. They broke ground on January 4th 2010 and wrapped it up on February 2nd. The new look is much more modern and represents what the store looks like on the inside much better.

I’d like to thank our customers for putting up with the construction. Despite the crowded parking lot and the dust, January was a great month. If all goes as planned, we will begin similar construction on the Manchaca store in March.
