Garmin International Inc. will open two retail locations in the greater Miami area to showcase its most popular products and provide in-depth, hands-on product demonstrations.
“The Garmin stores are located in high volume traffic areas that draw a mix of locals and travelers from around the globe,” said Dan Bartel Garmin vice president of worldwide sales. “Customers can engage with a team of knowledgeable Garmin associates who can answer questions, demonstrate products, and help select the perfect device. It’s another way to demonstrate that Garmin has a very diverse product portfolio with devices that can benefit virtually anyone who leads an active lifestyle.”
Garmin will open a 2,600-square-foot Garmin store at the Lincoln Road Mall, which is located at 511-513 Lincoln Road that will offer concierge-like customer service and demos of dozens of products, including wellness, running, cycling, golfing, marine, automotive, aviation, and outdoor recreation devices. Lincoln Road is a popular pedestrian mall that features an array of high-end brands, galleries, and restaurants.
Also in the greater Miami area, Garmin will open a smaller kiosk-format showcase in the upscale Aventura Mall. Situated between Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Aventura is home to many luxury brands and is the third largest mall in the United States.
For nearly a decade, Garmin has maintained a very popular store in Chicago, located on Michigan Avenue’s “Magnificent Mile.” The company intends to maintain its presence in Chicago.
