Google to open its own chain of retail stores in the US by the end of the year around holiday shopping season, according to sources at  9to5Google.

This initiative from Google have come across as a surprise a couple of years ago, but with the advent of the Nexus devices and the Chromebook, along with upcoming devices such as Project Glass, a retail chain of stores is just the thing that the company needs.

Google supposedly feels it needs a retail presence so that customers need to get a hands-on-experience with the product before they purchase it. Google currently has mini-stores within stores for selling Chromebooks as it is seen in the picture above, but the Google stores are said to be much bigger in scale.

Firstly, these stores will be open only in the US but hopefully they will spread to other locations around world next year.
