The Starbucks Promo is a real thing

Although essentially ignored by this site and released with no fanfare from Niantic, Silph Road was 100% correct about the Starbucks promotion and there are new Pokestops at Starbucks stores with an associated Starbucks drink!

Yup, saw more Pokestops at Starbucks that were not previously there.

Cold drink though right?

OK... still not buying anything from them... and this wasn't much of a question. As for this site ignoring it. meh. Extra stops and gyms in an attempt to sell you a frappaccino doesn't really float my boat either...

Some of the stores also have gyms now. May be coincidence, but I'm getting a lot of mega and ultra balls from the sponsored stop.

We avoid posting on speculation and rumors as a rule here at GamePress, even if some end up true. We'd rather be a bit late and true instead of breaking news that end up wrong.

People were constantly speculating the Starbucks thing includes Gen 2. It doesn't.

Worth bear mentioning that after the Starbucks sponsorship is officially announced, we immediately added it to the real 0.49.1 patch notes post:

Don't ever change it! You all have a good reputation. Respect for no click bait "news" and staying on top of things.

I agree totally! I hate how TrainerTips has really become super click baity lately. So I enjoy GamePress more careful attitude towards all the crazy speculation recently.

I agree with your policy 100%- the speculation gets confusing and I'd definitely rather spend time catching up with genuine news than having to filter through nonsense.
Thank you!

I wonder if the stops will stay. I now have one in reach of my office. Easy way to keep stocked up on ball.
