• There is a new Google Store in Chicago, specifically in the Oak Brook suburb.
• The store opens on November 1, 2024.
• It will be the first physical Google retail location not located on either US coast.

When it comes to physical retail stores owned and operated by the best smartphone manufacturers, Apple is way, way ahead of any of its competitors here in the United States, with over 250 locations. Samsung is the furthest along, with just five US shops — a dismal showing against Apple. Google is catching up, though, with four successful shops. Unfortunately, all those Google Store locations are on the East or West Coasts, leaving many shoppers out of the loop.

Thankfully, Google is making headway here. Tomorrow, November 1, the company will launch the first Google Store in Chicago, specifically in the Oak Brook suburb at 63 Oakbrook Center. This will be its fifth permanent retail store, with the other four being Chelsea (Manhattan, NY), Williamsburg (Brooklyn, NY), Newbury (Boston, MA), and Mountain View (California, right near Google’s main headquarters). We visited the Mountain View location last year, so give that a look and see what it’s like.
