Google <a href="https://bloggerseo.com.ng/google-business-profiles-new-generate-menu-from-photo-2">seems to be testing a new search feature named “Hidden gem stores.” This shows you shopping and merchant listings from various stores and brands. This does not seem to be the hidden-gems-ranking-algorithm-36388.html">Google hidden gems algorithm, but rather just a fancy title for a search feature box.
This was spotted by Brodie Clark on X under SERPAlerts who wrote, “Google is now testing out a new section in mobile search results titled ‘Hidden gem stores’. Clicking the results display a selection of merchant listing results for each store. Is this an example of Google’s ‘Hidden Gems’ algo in action or just a feature sharing the same name?”

I doubt this is part of the hidden gems algorithm but who knows.
Have you seen this before?
Here are more screenshots?
