Additionally, according to Polygon, Pokémon Go developer, Niantic Labs will soon be sponsored by multiple retailers to introduce locations where Pokémon Go players can potentially access Lure Module, rare Pokémon (maybe?) and other potentially awesome things. Which retailers are working with Niantic is still being determined but this could change the retail arena in a whole new way with augmented reality at the forefront of the changes. Guess we finally know (or confirmed) that this is how the trending mobile game plan to monetize it's app.

Current retailers who are lucky enough to have a Poké Stop smack dab in the middle of their stores are already making good use of it and setting out marketing tactics devised to lure Pokémon Go players in store. They're probably in there purchasing and setting off Lure Modules all day so if you're looking for new hot spots around town, try the mall.
So... what level are you now?
