Tech Store Unveiling in Times Square: An Inside Look at the Globe's Most Immersive Tech Retail Experience

tm:rw: A Tech and Innovation Destination Revolutionizing Shopping in Times Square

In the heart of New York City's Times Square, a unique tech and innovation destination has emerged. tm:rw, spanning an estimated 20,000 square feet, is not just a traditional store but a dynamic platform and experiential space that aims to redefine shopping, discovery, and the future experience [1][4].

This immersive tech and innovation destination, which opened its doors earlier this year, is designed to fuse design, innovation, and well-being, emphasizing a philosophy called Digital Naturalism [2]. It is a creative catalyst and showcase for founders, inventors, and visionary creators to break boundaries and democratize access to breakthrough ideas [2][5].

The space is crafted to replace traditional boxed product displays with interactive discovery, inviting customers not only to shop but to create memories and experience the next era of innovation [4]. It mixes the excitement of a theme park, the innovation of a tech showroom, and the inspiration of an art installation [4].

Brands are central to the concept, with flexible, rotating showcases allowing experimentation within a shared design language and supporting emerging creators alongside iconic brands [3]. Products in tm:rw are out in the open and designed to be demoed, tasted, touched, worn, and played with, turning shopping into an immersive experience [4].

tm:rw: A Flagship of the Future

Tm:rw's staff are not just salespeople; they are partners who understand the products, their stories, and how they fit into a customer's lifestyle. The store is developing a more robust digital platform to stay connected with travelers and locals after their visit [6].

Anker will be using tm:rw's Corner Shop for some exciting launches this fall, complete with custom-built marketing activations [7]. Tm:rw works intimately with each of its "brand partners" to help shape how they show up in the market [8].

Tm:rw acts as an incubator and launchpad for emerging brands, many of which are fresh from shows like CES or IFA and not yet available anywhere else in the U.S. [9]. Some unique experiences at tm:rw include a gelato machine and a Capsix massage table [10].

Tm:rw marks the brand's return to the U.S. after a short-lived presence in Hudson Yards [11]. Tm:rw's goal is to win over New Yorkers, offering them a reason to come back to Times Square [12]. Tm:rw offers valuable data about consumer interaction with products, which can help refine their messaging and design [13].

Expansion Plans and Opportunities

Tm:rw employs 28 people in New York, with plans to expand to 35 [14]. The brand is planning strategic expansion, possibly including more U.S. locations in innovation-forward cities, new experiential zones, creator-focused spaces, and deeper collaborations with CE manufacturers [15].

Tm:rw invites manufacturers or emerging startups interested in becoming brand partners to reach out [16]. It is a platform for creators, brands, and consumers to meet, interact, and explore what's next.
