It's also offering deals and discounts on Amazon devices, headphones, laptops and video games. There's also a $20 discount available for some Apple Watches. 

The company noted that there are safety protocols in place at its stores including requiring masks for customers and employees. It also plans to limit the number of people allowed inside a store at all times.
