Meta to open its first physical retail store in the U.S.

Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. said it will open its first physical retail store next month for people to experience its hardware products Quest 2, Ray-Ban Stories, and Portal. The 1,550 square feet store will open on May 9 near the company’s Reality Labs headquarters, where virtual reality, and augmented reality gadgets are under development. The physical store will give “a sense for what’s coming” on the metaverse, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a post. They can also buy these gadgets and other accessories, except Ray-Ban Stories, which can be ordered directly from the sun glass maker’s website.
