Google is testing a new local search carousel named “Most Mentioned Places.” It seems to bring up local retail stores that have the product you are searching for. It shows local Google Business Profile listings, with the photo, and review summaries.
This was spotted by Brodie Clark who posted about it on X and on SERP Alert notes. Here is one of those screenshots:
