Intel Experience Pop-Up Store Opens in Venice Tuesday

Chip maker Intel will open its first pop-up Intel Experience Store for the holidays, hoping to give shoppers an education on all tings Intel and some hands-on experience with Intel-powered products.

The opening of the pop-up store at 1421 Abbot Kinney Blvd. will be celebrated Tuesday with the chance to win prizes. Neighbors in the 90291 area code will receive a free “I ♥ Venice” sweatshirt (with proof of residency, while supplies last).

Tuesday night, the public is invited to participate in a digital (board) game night that includes prizes.   

Intel says the company will work with neighboring businesses and organizations to give back and reinvest in the future of the neighborhoods. Electronic recycling will be available for old electronics: Bring in anything from small electronics to laptops and printers, and, in exchange, Intel will make a cash or technology donation to local schools in the area.

The store's intent is to provide access to Intel tech experts who can help with purchasing decisions or offer technology advice, says Intel.

The store opens Tuesday at 10 a.m. Prizes and entertainment begin at 6 p.m.
