Google is in the works  to open it's first retail store at its European headquarters in Dublin, although no plans are definite. the Mountain View, California-based company said in an email "We've not made any decisions, it's simply a planing aplpication." What is definite is the expansion of their Dublin branch. 

Yet if plans fall through,  the Google Store will be open to the public, as Google currently has one retail locations open only to employees as well as the the online site (www.googlestore.com), featuring their items. The initial 'test-run' for the retail store was done inside a London branch of Currys and PC World. Primarily this was a trial for selling laptops running the company's Chromebook operating system. The location in Dubling would sell unspecified Google merchandise near the companies second largest headquarter location.

This is Google's effort to compete directly with Apple as well as to follow rumors that Amazon is considering its own stand-alone in Seattle. Along, with the retail site the company is also in the process of buying Motorola Mobility Holdings Inc. for 12.5billion, which will be ruled on by The European Commission by Feb. 13. Yet, in the face of Apple, Google has some ways to go in order to effectively compete on the retail front with the technological giant.
