Summary
More than 50 Best Buy stores in the U.S. and Canada will get dedicated Meta Lab spaces, where shoppers can test Quest headsets and Meta smart glasses before buying.
Each roughly 900-square-foot mini store will be staffed by trained Meta specialists, replacing the usual boxed displays and regular store-employee sales approach with guided, hands-on demos.
Quest trials will include gaming, fitness and virtual theater experiences, while smart-glasses shoppers can compare styles, get fitting help and see wearable features tied to Meta's Neural Band accessories.
California stores in San Bernardino and San Carlos are first, with more locations planned this summer in Minnesota, New Jersey, South Carolina and Ohio before the North American rollout reaches 50 by end-2026.
