Meta has announced that it will open up its first-ever retail store, which is called the Meta Store for people to get a “hands-on” experience of its hardware products. This is also the company’s attempt for people to get acquainted with the idea of Metaverse. Here are the details.
The Meta Store will open on May 9 and is located in Burlingame, California. This is near the company’s Reality Labs HQ. Meta says that “having the store here in Burlingame gives us more opportunity to experiment and keep the customer experience core to our development. What we learn here will help define our future retail strategy.“
As mentioned earlier, this retail store is for people to know more about the Metaverse while “demystifying” the concept. Meta Store’s Head, Martin Gilliard, states, “The Meta Store is going to help people make that connection to how our products can be the gateway to the metaverse in the future. We’re not selling the metaverse in our store, but hopefully, people will come in and walk out knowing a little bit more about how our products will help connect them to it.“
