Google is set to expand its physical retail presence with the opening of its ninth Google Store, this time in the Georgetown neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The new store will be located at 3235 M St NW, marking the company’s first retail location in the nation’s capital. This announcement follows the recent openings in Austin, Texas, and the upcoming store in Miami, Florida, both slated for 2025.
The expansion of Google’s retail footprint has been strategic and gradual. The journey began in 2021 with the inaugural store in New York’s Chelsea district. Subsequent openings include:
– Williamsburg, New York (2022)
– Mountain View, California (2023)
– Newbury Street, Massachusetts (2024)
– Oakbrook, Illinois (2024)
– Santa Monica, California (2025)
– Domain Northside, Texas (2025)
– Aventura, Florida (2025)
The Georgetown store is anticipated to open its doors later this year, potentially making 2025 a landmark year with four new store inaugurations.
In tandem with this expansion, Google is celebrating its 27th birthday by offering special promotions to its customers. From September 14 to September 28, 2025, purchasers of the Pixel 10 Pro or Pixel 10 Pro XL (Unlocked) will receive a $100 Prepaid Mastercard, which can be added to Google Wallet. This offer is available while supplies last and is limited to three prepaid cards per customer. Eligible customers will receive an email within 14-15 days post-purchase with instructions on how to claim their prepaid card. The funds on the card must be utilized by May 28, 2026.
Additionally, during the same promotional period, customers purchasing any of the following devices will receive a Google Phone Case Sticker Sheet:
– Pixel 10
– Pixel 10 Pro
– Pixel 10 Pro XL
– Pixel 10 Pro Fold
The sticker sheet features a variety of designs, including the iconic G logo, Gemini, Chrome Dino, There’s no place like Chrome, Google Maps Pegman, and more.
Furthermore, the Pixel Buds Pro 2 are currently available at a discounted price of $179, reflecting a $50 reduction from the original price.
These initiatives underscore Google’s commitment to enhancing customer engagement through both physical retail experiences and value-added promotions. The Georgetown store is expected to offer a comprehensive range of Google products, including Pixel smartphones, Nest smart home devices, and other hardware, providing customers with hands-on experiences and personalized support.
The choice of Georgetown for the new store aligns with Google’s strategy of situating retail locations in vibrant, high-traffic areas that attract a diverse customer base. Georgetown’s rich history, combined with its status as a bustling commercial hub, makes it an ideal location for Google’s latest retail venture.
As Google continues to expand its retail presence, customers can look forward to more opportunities to interact directly with Google’s ecosystem of products and services, further bridging the gap between online and offline experiences.
