Meta, the retailer formerly known as Facebook, is considering opening its first retail stores, reports The New York Times. The stores will showcase metaverse exploration devices like virtual reality headsets and video teleconferencing devices that can be used through the Facebook app.

The first store, a flagship, is reportedly planned for Burlingame, Calif., where the company has an office for Reality Labs. Last week Facebook changed its name to Meta to reflect a shifted focus on building a virtual world or metaverse.
