After years of pop-up experiments, Google says its first retail store, located in the Chelsea neighborhood of NYC, will open on June 17

a day in nearly post-pandemic NYC Tweets: @madebygoogle : Google's first ever retail store opens tomorrow in NYC! 😃Friendly staff ready to answer your questions 🎨A full selection of products and product colors 🤩Interactive exhibits Learn more: https://blog.google/... NYC Dept of Consumer Affairs Lic. Nos: 2099131-DCA, 2099133-DCA https://twitter.com/... Philip Battin / @philipbattin : Proud to have been involved in this project from concept to grand opening and being responsible for many of the digital surfaces in the store. Step into the store and explore how we're using AR to augment products on display with beautiful and engaging 3d https://www.youtube.com/... Thomas Hawk / @thomashawk : This will not end well, like most Google Products I predict that this store will be closing down in approximately 18-19 months. Google's first retail store opens this week https://www.theverge.com/... via @Verge Alberto Villarreal / @alberto_vb_ : The first ever Google retail store will open to the public tomorrow in New York. I had the opportunity to be part of the initial concept & brainstorm sessions along with a large team of talented designers and experts who took on the execution. Via @google https://blog.google/... Harry McCracken / @harrymccracken : Looks like this will be worth a visit when I finally get back to NYC. I'm fascinated by tech companies' seemingly endless desire to create their own retail experiences, and (with one notable exception) their lack of long-term success. (By @LizSegran.) https://www.fastcompany.com/ ... Jess Playin / @thejessplayin : Bing will still be operating in a back alley near your local Applebee's https://twitter.com/... Ken Lowery / @kenlowery : This looks like the $2 million version of the kid's area in a doctor's office waiting room https://twitter.com/... Rafi Schwartz / @thejewishdream : excuse me but where are the huge red, blue, green, and yellow beads to push along that ridiculous twisty metal track? https://twitter.com/... Ed Bott / @edbott : How did this work out for Microsoft? https://twitter.com/... Subrahmanyam Kvj / @sub8u : The first ten things the store assistant will show you won't be useful. #justsaying https://twitter.com/... James Hitchcock / @jameshitchcock : walking in, asking the clerk for search results on a given term, and waiting for him to disappear into a backroom for a few minutes before returning with a printed list of URLs https://twitter.com/... Abner Li / @technacity : The design for this first store does not seem like it will scale — Google's favorite concept — to anything other than similar experience store/boutique-like spaces. Definitely not traditional mall spots. https://twitter.com/... Steve Kovach / @stevekovach : Google opened up a retail store in NYC, right up the street from an Apple store. https://www.cnbc.com/... Stephen Shankland / @stshank : Google has a retail store in NYC. That's nice, but the company's success as a gadget maker has been meh. Pixel phones seem a rarity. Smart speakers, fire alarms, doorbells, hubs seem to do a bit better. The Google Nest Wifi router is a top pick at CNET. https://www.cnet.com/...
