Pokemon Go has taken over my city, I've never seen anything like this.

Which is why I could totally see Nintendo/Niantic/Pokemon Co selling Pokestop status to various businesses.  GameStop and Best Buy in particular come to mind since they tie into gaming and technology sales and would be pleased as punch to have tons of people drawn to their locations via a game.  Also, gym status could be sold to individual locations...my word, the business posibilities.  I could see malls being all over this, wanting multiple stops and 2 or 3 gyms in the building, especially really large ones. 

I think most malls already have Pokestops. The nearest one to me has at least half a dozen leftover from the Ingress portals. I'm sure there will be an adjustment period as certain locations (especially churches) ask to be removed from the network while many businesses happily volunteer to take their place.

Yeah, one church in particular has been trying for some time to NOT have traffic passing through it's parking lot as it can serve as a shortcut to get to another road.  This will not help with that as it is a Pokestop :P

But yes, most malls have them I imagine.  But at least in my area, we have a very large mall with only 1 stop and 1 gym.  I'm sure I'm not the only one.  Granted, there are 5 or 6 gyms within minutes of driving distance and numerous pokestops so it's not like the general area is lacking.
