Tags: UntaggedThanks for helping us recycle nearly 10,000 pounds of e-waste!
With Earth Day right around the corner, we're proud to announce that we accepted nearly 10,000 pounds of electronic waste (e-waste) in 2011. That's a ton - actually, nearly five tons - of e-waste, weighing more than a Ford F-150 towing a 20-foot boat.
Tags: UntaggedAnother big box store cuts back
Last month, Best Buy announced they’re closing dozens of stores. Are we surprised? Not really. Since we've been in business, we've seen lots of big box, discount stores come and go - from Hills and Comp USA to Computer City and many, many others.
But we’re still here – and we’re still growing.
At MacSolutions Plus, we believe in giving our customers a great product at a good price, backed by exceptional service. When you buy from us, you get people who truly care about giving you honest advice. You get personalized training. You get remote service. And you get everything else that makes MacSolutions Plus a local success story.
We’re proud to be a local business that is 100% invested in Western New York. When you shop at a national chain, most of the money you spend goes out of town. But when you shop at a local, independent store like MacSolutions Plus, most of that money returns to the local economy.
So thank you for choosing MacSolutions Plus – Western New York’s leading independent Apple Specialist store – and your best choice for Apple products.
