First came the Apple Store, then the Microsoft Store, and now, via Samantha Murphy Kelly of Mashable, another tech giant is looking to get into the retail game:
Google plans to open its first retail location in the United States in New York City’s SoHo neighborhood, situated just around the corner from an Apple store, a new report suggests.
According to Crain’s New York, Google will open an 8,000-square-foot retail location at 131 Greene St. If the reports are true, the store would also be across the street from eyewear company Warby Parker, which at one point was rumored to be helping design frames for Google Glass.
