Google's pop-up stores are now open in New York and Chicago
Now that Google's new hardware for the year is here, it's time for the company to start promoting it and getting the tech into people's hands. One way Google's going about doing this is with two pop-up stores that are open now in New York and Chicago.
While we've seen New York pop-up stores for the past two years, Chicago's replacing Los Angeles this time around.
Google's promoting these as the "Google Hardware Store", and at the Hardware Stores, you'll be able to play with the Pixel 3, Pixel Slate, and Home Hub. Google has a funky treehouse inside the store where you can "hang out with Google Home Hub", and to test the Pixel 3's Top Shot feature, you can hop on the indoor swing to see how the phone handles taking a photo of a moving subject.
Both stores are open Monday - Saturday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM with Sunday hours going from 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You'll also find a variety of special events taking place, including scavenger hunts, group photo walks, and learning how to make handmade marshmallows.
It's currently unclear how long the stores will be open for, so be sure to check them out soon to experience everything for yourself.
