Chili’s in Beavercreek learned that the game has made their restaurant a hot spot for captures. While we didn’t really have anything to do with it it seems to be drawing people to our location. Manager Macy comments, “I see all kinds of people walking around the restaurant with their phones, in and out of the bathrooms and around just searching. Our business has been up the last week or so, and I’m not sure if it’s do to the Pokemon Go hunters, but we’re happy to have them.”
