Sprint stores will be seeing a bit more foot traffic soon, thanks to the announcement that every single Sprint store (and other related retailers), 10,500 in total, is now either a PokéStop or Gym for players of Pokémon GO.
To be exact, Sprint, Boost Mobile, and Sprint at Radioshack stores will become Stops and Gyms, available to players whenever they may want to fill up on in-game items. Not only will Sprint allow folks to loiter and play Pokémon, but they will even feature offer in-store charging sessions for players to charge their devices while catching ’em all.
Here’s what the Pokémon GO had to say.
As part of this collaboration, Sprint, Boost Mobile and Sprint at Radioshack stores will become PokéStops and Gyms, giving you even more places to stock up on Poké Balls and Razz Berries and to battle your friends. Sprint locations will also feature in-store charging stations to keep your Pokémon GO sessions going even longer.
The Pokémon GO team also announced that they have more surprises in store for the end of 2016, so we will be sure to forward that information once it’s available.
Starbucks is going to do the same, Pokemon GO announced it on their website today.
The people going in are using phones already on another carrier…probably on a contract plan or payment plan…not wanting or able to switch. I highly doubt the extra foot traffic will equate to more sales or people switching over to sprint. Specially when the annoyed employees cant tell which are the real customers and which are the annoying pokemon people and end up bugging everyone if “they can help them”
Is saying “Is this still a thing?” still a thing?
Why just Gym? Why not PokéGym?
Always late to the game. Their stores must be 1% full to accommodate them.
Sprint Stores and Boost Mobile stores are already Pokestops and charging stations with regular Pokelures set out. Only the addition for Sprint@ Radio Shack and having Pokegyms are the new thing.
a total of 5 people care
A little late but better late than never…i guess. They obviously think it’s worthwhile doing and let’s be honest pokemen still has thousands of players so i can see it working out well for them.

Will they have people there to help you also solve your Rubik’s cube or maybe sell you some new clothes for your Cabbage Patch kid?
Yeah, they should have done this in July if they wanted to stay relevant.

Is poke’mon still even really a thing? I thought that hype had passed?
3DS game dropped 2 weeks ago breaking more sales records than the last one. The hype is long gone, though.
Holy crap – is that still a thing? And by that, I mean both Sprint and Pokemon Go.
But, but, but….1%….lol
