Several Starbucks employees have come forward with an apparent internal message pertaining to Pokemon GO. It points to something potentially huge happening with the mobile game later this week.<\/p>\n

Assuming the message is legitimate – which seems very likely at this point – Pokemon GO is receiving some sort of update on Thursday. It states that Niantic’s title “is about to expand with new Pokemon” – plus a new Starbucks beverage to celebrate.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Most Starbucks locations throughout the United States will become either a PokeStop or a Gym. Additionally, after locating their relevant store within the game, visitors can unlock the Pokemon GO Frappuccino Blended Beverage. That being said, an additional note mentions that Starbucks customers will not need to play in order to unlock the new drink.<\/p>\n

Have a look at the full message below.<\/p>\n
