Over the years, Google has opened dozens of temporary pop-up retail stores around the world. Whether at a trade show or to promote the launch of a brand new line of products, Google has a long history in physical retail. However, it never had a permanent home.
That’ll all change next month when the company opens Google Store NYC, its first non-pop-up store. The shop is located in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan and, just like his online shop, offers all kinds of Made by Google products. However, now you can try before you buy and get help from staff if you need it.

In addition to products with a “G” on the back, items that are in the Google ecosystem will also be available. This includes Nest items and Fitbit wearables. It is very likely that you will also see third-party products such as Chromebooks from Samsung, Asus, etc.
Google also advises that you can buy and pick up items from the online Google Store. You can also bring the items you currently have with you for repairs or technical support. You can even set up a professional installation with certain products.
Of course, the COVID-19 pandemic will still be a thing next month, and Google understands the importance of safety. Until further notice, the Google Store NYC will have strict precautionary measures such as mandatory masks, hand sanitization, and social distancing. Google also limits the number of people who can be in the business at the same time.
Google has not given a specific date for the opening. However, there will likely be an announcement sometime in June.
