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."

Same old.

Cue the "Google will discontinue this too" jokes.

Well, those jokes are more relevant than the puff pieces slashdot tends to post.

hope it does better than Windows/XFinity Stores

[Somervillain]

...or comcast's XFinity stores. The Windows Store in Boston was PATHETIC...saddest place ever. One customer, max, and they generally look confused like they're on vacation, didn't speak much english, and stumbled in there by mistake. The staff to customer ratio seemed to always be 10 to 1. I made the mistake of walking in there once because I was in the neighborhood and had never seen a surface up close...young people who knew they were about to lose their job swarmed me and I could see the disappointme

The best backhanded compliment

I was watching a Tesla fanboi video on the internets a while back as he took delivery of his new car. He walked around and saw some scratches and misaligned panels and a chip on the windshield and in his best thank-you-may-I-have-another voiceover voice told the audience that it's ok because Tesla has really great service and they'll fix the broken bits lickety-split as soin as you point them out.
