First Physical Google Store Opening In New York City This Summer

After years of seasonal pop-ups, Made by Google is finally opening a retail store for its hardware division. The first physical Google Store will be in Chelsea directly under one of the company's New York City offices. 9to5Google reports: At the Google Store, you'll be able to 'browse and buy an extensive selection of products made by Google,' including Pixel phones, Nest products, Fitbit devices, and Pixelbooks. You'll also be able to pick up online orders. The company says this is 'an important next step in our hardware journey of providing the most helpful experience of Google, wherever and whenever people need it.' 'Throughout the store, visitors will be able to experience how our products and services work together in a variety of immersive ways, which we're excited to share more about when the doors open.'

Besides shopping, there will be product support help from troubleshooting to cracked screen repairs and installations, as well as how-to workshops: 'It doesn't matter whether you're a longtime Pixel user, are curious about our Nest displays or want to participate in one of the how-to workshops we'll offer throughout the year -- our team will be able to provide you with help that's specific and personalized to your needs.' The first-ever physical Google Store will open this summer, with the company saying it will 'explore and experiment with the possibilities of a physical retail space and build upon the experience.'
