Starbucks locations are now 'Pokémon Go' Gyms or Pokéstops

7,800 of the company's coffee shops will be a haven for trainers.

We knew a Starbucks collaboration with Pokémon Go was on the way, but now it's official. Niantic, the developer of the massively popular augmented reality game, revealed today that around 7,800 Starbucks coffee shops in the US have been turned into Gyms or Pokéstops. Aside from this, since these are sponsored locations after all, trainers can also pick up a special Pokémon Go Frappuccino drink. And, just like you can do at Sprint stores now, you'll have access to a charging station too.

Whatever you do, remember to be aware of your surroundings while you're trying to catch 'em all. Because you never know who may be creeping on you. That's no joke.
