Starbucks has announced that starting today, about 7,800 store locations in the U.S. will be turned into PokeStops or Gyms for Pokemon GO players.

People across the country have been playing Pokémon GO since its release and Starbucks customers and partners (employees) are among them. To join in with the fun and excitement, starting today (December 8) at 11 a.m. PST, approximately 7,800 Starbucks® stores in the U.S. will begin to turn into PokéStops or Gyms.

By locating a Starbucks store within Pokémon GO, players will discover the Pokémon GO Frappuccino blended beverage. The Pokémon GO Frappuccino starts with a Vanilla Bean Frappuccino blended beverage and raspberry syrup blended with freeze dried whole blackberries and topped with whipped cream. It's the perfect treat for any Pokémon Trainer on the go.


The Pokémon GO Frappuccino blended beverage will be available at participating Starbucks stores for a limited time while supplies last.
