[quote]It's no secret that Apple's retail stores have proven extraordinarily beneficial for the company, and it looks like Google may be getting into the game now as well. 9to5Google is reporting that the company will be building a line of stand-alone retail stores, with the first locations scheduled to open by the end of the year. Google is said to feel that it has an assortment of products — from its Nexus line to Chromebooks — that customers aren't actually able to try out before deciding what they want to buy. Google has branded pop-up kiosks with several US and UK retailers, but these new stores are said to be full Google-run operations from top to bottom.[/quote]
Search engine, ISP, airport, and now stores. Keep going Google!
I hope they sell ice cream sandwiches and the like
each store should have a little snack bar
What does google sell in the physical department? I know phones and laptops, but what else? The picture made it look pretty big...

The picture's just a Google section in a larger store, they already have those.
I imagine they won't just be selling all-Google hardware, they'd only have 3 things to sell. They'll probably sell Android devices made by Samsung, LG, Sony, etc
But the stores could conceivably be really big considering they can sell dozens of Android devices, Chromebooks, and all their accessories

I wouldn't be surprised if their stores turn into the IKEA of electronics.
Though I am not a fan of Google this is very exciting.

Chromebooks, nexus 4, nexus 7, nexus 10, nexus q, google glasses (by then maybe), google watch (by then possibly). + accessories + gift cards etc. Why would they need more than that.

They would do well to learn from Rome's mistake.
Looks like Mirrors Edge :v:

What do you use? Ask Jeeves?
Now they need a big TV screen with a little keyboard so people can make Google searches in front of everyone in the store.
[QUOTE=smurfy;39604911]I hope they sell ice cream sandwiches and the like[/QUOTE]
Donuts, Eclairs, Frozen Yogurt, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwiches, and Jelly Beans.
And honeycombs but that's not food

So, uh Google, when are there gonna be hardware devices for sale on the Play on-line store in other than a few selected first world countries?

Honeycomb can be enjoyed as a dessert, but only kinda like chewing gum.
When it's all waxy and no taste left, spit it out.
wasn't there a guy on reddit who got fired for revealing this during an AMA?
[QUOTE=Loriborn;39604927]each store should have a little snack bar[/QUOTE]
I'd have a Google Coffee with Google Chream
In the store, you have to use google search and it magically fabricates the object you'd like to buy there.

They have those already too? What the hell man.

I'd be okay with this. I love IKEA and I love Google, so perfect blend!
I know what store we aren't getting.
[QUOTE=usaokay;39605122]I hope they have those Android mascot plushies. I need a green one to put in my room.[/QUOTE]
