Businesses Catching More Customers Thanks To Pokémon Go

In the quest to catch them all, some businesses are catching quite a few customers thanks to Pokémon Go.

The mobile game has been a worldwide phenomenon.

And some businesses are seeing a boost because they’re Pokéstops, places where players can collect supplies.

Rhombus Guys Pizza in Grand Forks says at least 10 people stop by each day to catch Pokémon, along with some food.

In fact, the restaurant says the game is bringing in more people now than it did when it came out three weeks ago.

Bartender and waitress Sarah Ruth Dobson says the game, “gives me something to talk about at my tables too, right away. I see your phone sitting out, see you doing it, I’m like ‘hey, you caught anything cool today? What have you been up to?’, and ‘You found anything? Where’d you find it?”, like that. It sparks conversation right away. “
 
There are no signs yet that the Poké-craze will slow down anytime soon.

People are using Pokémon Go on their phones more often than Facebook and Snapchat.
