The world’s first Google store has opened in London <\/strong><\/div>\n

The Apple\/Google rivalry is spilling over from the virtual realm into the physical world as Google tests out a series of pop-up retail shops over the next few months. Visitors arriving on flights to London<\/a><\/strong> this fall can get a front row seat to the retail battle royale.<\/p>\n

\n

The world\u2019s first Google store opened quietly inside of a PC World in London on Monday morning. The shop-within-a-shop on Tottenham Court Road will remain open through Christmas as the search engine giant dabbles into the world of retail.<\/p>\n

\n

There are tentative plans to open a few more pilot shops around the world in the coming weeks. If the prototype “Chrome Zones” prove successful, Google could make a larger splash in the retail market down the road.<\/p>\n

\n

Apple has already shown how successful brick-and-mortar shops can be for tech companies, attracting millions of visitors to over 300 Apple stores worldwide since 2001. A flagship Apple Store in New York City has even become one of the most photographed landmarks in the Big Apple.<\/p>\n
