Google will open its first-ever permanent retail store in New York City in the coming weeks, a bet that a physical retail presence can support in showcasing and selling its products as the pandemic eases.To be located in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, the store will open this summer and sell items such as Google’s Pixel phones, Nest smart thermostats, and Fitbit wearable devices, the company stated on Thursday in a blog post. The store will also host workshops on using Google products and provide repair and troubleshooting services. The store will be part of Google’s existing campus in the neighborhood. In 2018, Google bought the 1.2 million-square-foot Chelsea Market building for over $2 billion, across the street from its even bigger office building which is situated at 111 Eighth Ave.“Google has been in New York for the last 20 years, and we view the store as a natural extension of our longtime commitment to the city,” Jason Rosenthal, the company’s vice president of direct channel and membership, said in the blog post.
