Search Engine Donut Shops

Google is Opening Pop-Up Donut Stores in Major Cities

To kick off the release of the new donut-sized Google Home Mini, the search engine giant is launching pop-up donut stores in Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Chicago, Toronto and more. At its 11 shop locations across North America, Google is giving consumers the chance to "take home either a brand-new Google Home Mini, or two delicious donuts."

Although Google has launched many pop-up spaces in the past, this surprising one sets itself apart as one that has the potential to appeal to a wide range of foodies and tech enthusiasts alike. As the small-scale smart speaker is priced at just $49, the all-new Google Home Mini has an enticing price tag that consumers may be open to purchasing as spontaneously as something like a confectionery treat.
